Welcome to my website.

My work revolves around philosophy of the person, moral philosophy, religion, and culture and how these intersect and impact society, economics, technology, politics, and what it means to lead a good life.

Here you can find links to my writing, speaking, podcast episodes, documentary film, recommended reading, and more. Thanks for visiting.
