I am Associate
Professor of Philosophy at the University of
Wyoming, where I have been since receiving my PhD in 2003 from the University of Colorado, Boulder
under George Bealer. My current
research interests concern the metaphysics of epistemology, the
diachronic/modal dimensions of knowledge, knowledge-how, intuition, the
relationship between linguistic and philosophical analysis, and semantic
compositionality. I am also interested in the philosophical dimensions of
hunting/fishing, gardening and various other activities concerning the interaction
of people with the natural world.
