Welcome to my homepage. I am an assistant professor in the Department of Philosophy and Religion at Appalachian State University. My main research interests are in the philosophy of mind and philosophy of psychology, focusing on the nature of concepts and their possession conditions. I received my Ph.D. at the University of Toronto, where I completed my dissertation “Conceptual Atomism: Towards a Plausible Theory of Concepts”.
