My research focuses on understanding the human place in nature, in relation to God and creatures. This includes reference to contemporary questions concerning the nature of the human animal, and the ethical status of other animals and our shared environments, in environmental philosophy. It also includes more classical questions concerning ontology, the philosophy of nature, and ethics. Both 19th Century Philosophy and phenomenology have provided valuable lenses by which to address these kinds of questions within the modern cosmological context.

I love teaching, and I love inviting students to join me in addressing the kinds of questions mentioned above: questions about God, the human person, animals, ethics, and nature. I especially enjoy introducing students to the resources of the Catholic intellectual tradition, and am both grateful and excited to be able to do so at Gonzaga.
