Hello!  Welcome to my web page. Here is some brief information about me, more detailed information about various topics can be found in the links above.

I am currently the Herbert Simon Postdoctoral Fellow in Scientific Philosophy in the Department of Philosophy at Carnegie Mellon University.  My research focuses on game theory, agent based modeling, and the philosophy of science.  I received a Ph.D. and M.A. in Philosophy from the Department of Logic and Philosophy of Science at the University of California, Irvine.   Before that, I received a B.S. in Philosophy from Kansas State University.  While at Kansas State I was an intercollegiate debater, with some success.  

I'm originally from Manhattan, Kansas; my mother and father are both professors at Kansas State.  I have a wonderful, lovely partner Korryn Mozisek, who is currently pursuing a Ph.D. in rhetoric at Indiana University, Bloomington.

I spend a lot of time working, as one might expect.  When I stumble over spare time, I like to play poker or contribute to Wikipedia.  My work on Wikipedia is largely fueled by my interest (obsession) with open-source and copyleft.   In keeping with this, the material on this page is provided under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share alike license and it was made using open source software.
