I'm an assistant professor of philosophy at Syracuse University. Starting Fall 2021, I'll be an assistant professor of philosophy at the University of Alabama, Birmingham. I received my PhD in philosophy in 2020 from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.

My primary areas are ethics and epistemology, but my research interests also take me into social and political philosophy, the philosophy of mind and action, moral psychology, philosophy of race, 20th Century philosophy, and Sikh philosophy. In general, what unifies my research interests is an integrated approach to questions about how to act, think, and feel as questions about how to live. You can find a more detailed description of my research here, and abstracts of my publications and works-in-progress here.

Before graduate school, I got my bachelor's degree in philosophy from Princeton University. I was born and raised in Santa Cruz, California. When I'm not doing philosophy, I enjoy playing jazz guitar, tabletop gaming, and watching football and basketball. I spend a lot of my time with my partner, Lindsay Brainard, who's also a philosopher, and our dog, Frisbee. I used to play jazz guitar professionally; you can listen to the album I recorded back then here.
