"History is philosophy from examples."

Dionysius of Halicarnassus, Ars Rhetorica


I blog about education, culture, philosophy and (sometimes) religion at philosophyfromexamples.com

I have worked for the Canadian federal government in various capacities for more than four years. 

I've done lots of things, but the thread that ties them all together is communication. I can take something complicated and make it simple and easy to understand, whether in writing, through images or video, or through dynamic presentations.

Find me on LinkedIn.​

I have worked as an educator for over a decade, teaching at seven universities. I taught courses in philosophy and communication. ​

Here are some textbooks and other educational materials I've created. 

Fill yer boots.

Students of POLS 392, here is your syllabus.

I've been lucky enough to study philosophy all over the world. ​​​​​Here are some details about my studies.

And now for some stuff I've written:​

• A story about a Quebec village
• An essay about a forgotten 18th century poet
• An essay about George Berkeley's final, alchemical work
