I am animated by the perplexities of learning to be human in a technological age. My scholarship has been mostly focused on existential phenomenology, especially Heidegger and Merleau-Ponty. In addition to being a visiting scholar in Philosophy at UC Berkeley, I am Director of Research for Pluralistic Networks, Inc., an educational and professional development company based in Oakland, CA. I received my Ph.D. from Northwestern University, and also studied in Berkeley, Paris, Berlin, and Frankfurt am Main.
