About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To invent a bicycle tube that never pops!

ABOUT ME

I'm finishing my PhD in philosophy right now, to teach some day. What I love about teaching is getting to interact with college students in such a meaningful way. My dissertation is about the role of emotions in moral psychology.

I'm from CA. I grew up in the beautiful Santa Cruz Mountains.
