Overview


I am a second-year PhD student. I am a Major in the Army who has been selected to be an Academy Professor at the United States Military Academy at West Point upon completion of my PhD, where I will teach for the remainder of my Army career. I am broadly interested in social and political philosophy. I am originally from Virginia Beach, VA, am married to my best friend, Lyndsay, and have a daughter (Chloe) and a son (Owen). I enjoy spending time with my family, eating good food and drinking good wine with Lyndsay, reading, playing boardgames, and watching sports.
