This site is for my philosophical writing.

So far, that writing has all been in value theory, with a focus on well-being (or welfare, or prudential value, or whatever you want to call it). I am especially interested in the relationship between well-being and hedonic states (pleasure and pain).

​I received my PhD in philosophy from Duke University in December 2020. You can read my dissertation, A Defense of Basic Prudential Hedonism, here.

By day, I am on staff at Hamline University in St. Paul, MN, where I head up the Writing and Communication Center.
