You'll find a short biographical note  about me on the BCC Philosophy and Religion departmental  web site. My career in higher education has been spent in  both administration and in the classroom where I am a  Professor of Philosophy and Religion. My administrative  positions have included Dean, Arts and Humanities; Chief  Information Officer; several vice president positions; and  most recently the position of Executive Vice President. In  June 2008, I decided to shift my focus entirely to my  discipline and to resume my professorial responsibilities.

Though much of my educational career has been spent in  administration, I have a deep and abiding interest in  philosophy and religious studies, and I enjoy the classroom  immensely. My early interests were principally in the  philosophy of religion and in symbolic logic. Later, over time,  I became increasingly interested in political and social  philosophy, particularly in regards to questions about how  democratic societies can maintain social cohesion while  keeping faith with diverse conceptions of the good.
