Hi! I am a Professor of Philosophy at California State University, San Bernardino. My research specialities are the history and philosophy of science (with a focus on astronomy and cosmology), early modern philosophy (especially David Hume), and philosophy of religion (atheism and anti-apologetics). I have taught a wide range of courses, including critical thinking, symbolic logic, introduction to philosophy, philosophy of religion, ethics, bioethics, early modern philosophy, rationalism, David Hume, philosophy of science, evidential reasoning, philosophy of cosmology, environmental philosophy, science and the modern world, scientific revolutions, philosophy and science fiction, video games and philosophy, and (my favorite) a one-off, co-taught Honors course on the comet ISON as it was approaching the sun in 2013. From 2007-2016, I worked in various administrative roles, mostly centered around student success. I’m also an award-winning craft beer writer, a racer of sailboats, and a photographer.
