I am a doctoral candidate in philosophy at the University of Georgia, expecting to complete my PhD in December 2026. My primary research interests are early modern philosophy and the philosophy of games and sport, with further interests in political philosophy, ethics, and aesthetics. Much of my work examines human agency, the development and exercise of human capacities, and the conditions under which our activities contribute to a life worth living.
My dissertation examines Bernard Suits’ philosophy of gameplay and its implications for human flourishing. I am also coauthor of On Bernard Suits’ Philosophy: How Play, Games, and Sport Shape a Life Worth Living (Routledge, 2026), and have published on detective fiction and just-war theory. My current research includes projects on Rousseau and education, Burke and political tradition, and the implications of artificial intelligence for meaningful work and human flourishing.
At the University of Georgia, I teach Introduction to Philosophy, Introduction to Ethics, and Logic and Critical Thinking.
