FEATURED ARTICLE

In July of 2026, I joined the Civics Center at Wright State U., Dayton, OH, as a Senior Faculty Associate. Alongside other duties, I will bring my background in teaching and research in ethics and political philosophy to the minor and certificate in Civic Thought. I am a former Professor of Philosophy at Shawnee State University in Portsmouth, OH, where I taught the Ethics requirement at SSU for 29 years. I received an MA in Christian Thought from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, and a PhD in Philosophy from Purdue University. I have published in the areas of moral psychology, Critical Theory, Islamic militancy, the role of ethics instruction in higher education, and natural law. My wife, Janet, and I have three grown children. We have been members of or attend exclusively Reformed churches.
