I am currently an Adjunct Instructor of Philosophy at Fordham University, as well as an Adjunct Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Hofstra University. Before that, I taught at Grand Valley State University as a Visiting Assistant Professor and—after earning my PhD in 2018—I was a Post-doctoral Teaching Fellow at Fordham University.

My current research is broadly in the areas of 19th- and 20th-century European (“Continental”) philosophy—especially existentialism and post-structuralism—and more narrowly in the existential tradition of Jewish philosophy as represented by figures like Benjamin Fondane (1898-1944), Lev Chestov (1866-1938), and Rachel Bespaloff (1895-1949). For more on my current (and past) research, visit my Research Page.

In addition to my academic interests, I’m a lover of classical music, a reader of history and literature when I find the time, and an avid movie-watcher. I have a wonderful wife named Erin, a beautiful son named Alphonse, and a spunky rescue dog named Rusty.
