I am a PhD candidate in philosophy at the University of Arizona.  I specialize in political philosophy and normative ethics, with an interest in evolutionary approaches to contractarian theory, sentimentalist ethics and its relationship to social philosophy, and the role that models and an experimental methodology can play in political philosophy.  More on my research can be found here.

I am currently writing my dissertation under the supervision of Jerry Gaus, David Schmidtz, Shaun Nichols, and Steve Wall.
