I am an associate professor of philosophy at Northwest Nazarene University.

My research interests lie primarily in the intersection of metaphysics, free will and moral responsibility, and philosophy of religion. I teach a range of courses on metaphysics, philosophy of religion, ethics, and the history of philosophy.

I have published a number of papers on the metaphysics of free will, culminating in a book entitled Free Will: Sourcehood and Its Alternatives. I also recently edited two collections in the philosophy of religion for Routledge: Arguing about Religion and Metaphysics and God.

During the summer of 2009, I took part in an an NEH Summer Institute on experimental philosophy. These days, I'm thinking quite a bit about virtues and the moral implications of ignorance.

I also serve as the philosophy of religion section editor for the Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy.
