I am currently an assistant professor of philosophy at Southern Methodist University and have been here since I received my Ph.D. from Brown in 2002.  While there, I wrote my dissertation, "Self-Knowledge and Self-Reference," under Jaegwon Kim and Ernest Sosa, the central chapter of which has recently been published in Philosophy and Phenomenological Research.  In general, my work concerns the nature of subjectivity, the self and the mind.  As a result, I wind up working in metaphysics, epistemology, the philosophy of mind and the philosophy of language.  Most recently, I have been developing a view called "Subjective Physicalism" which maintains that while everything is physical, some physical states cannot be fully grasped unless they are ocupied.  Several portions of this project have been published and are available in the "papers" section of this site.  I am also a co-administrator of Brainpains.com , a blog in the philosophy of mind.  

Since getting tenure, I've decided to shoot my mouth off a little more often, so I've started The Daily Sabbatical , a blog that includes a mixture of record and book reviews, links to other interesting stuff, and general ramblings.
