I am a fifth-year PhD student in the Philosophy Department at UMass Amherst. I study metaphysics and epistemology, and am especially interested in problems related to sets of contradictory beliefs. I have quite a few myself.

     I grew up in New Jersey, and am thus required by state law to fight anyone who impugns the honor of the great Garden State. Nonetheless, I left my beloved homeland for scenicer Waltham, MA to attend college at Brandeis University. It is there that I learned to love philosophy and forsake more useful pursuits.

     Now, I live in scenicer-still Northampton, which pretty much rocks.
