I'm a first-year PhD student in philosophy at the University of Wisconsin - Madison. I'm originally from Nashville, TN. I got my B.A. in Philosophy at the University of Tennessee and my M.A. in Philosophy at Texas Tech. My main interests are in metaethics (esp. defending and arguing for moral realism), metaphysics (esp. time and causation), and analytic philosophy of religion (esp. all of it).

Outside of philosophy, I play some basketball, watch some football, and hang out with my wife, Laura. In the summers, I try to stay cultured by working through AFI's top 100 movies (another summer or two and I'll have them all knocked out) and listening to audiobooks of classic literary works that I never read in high school.
