I am Professor and Chair of Philosophy at California State University, San Bernardino.
In addition to 19th-century European philosophy (especially Nietzsche) and moral psychology, I work in ethics (including on meaning in life) as well as issues at the intersection of ethics, the philosophy of emotion, and social philosophy. You can find a selection of my academic research here.
I also write public philosophy: see this essay on loneliness in Aeon, this essay on loneliness as a source of self-knowledge and personal transformation in The Philosopher, and this essay on nihilism in Psyche.
