About Me

My lifelong aim is to invest in healthy thinking habits in my community by renewing an interest in philosophy for everyday life.

I am the Chief Administrative Officer and a teaching fellow at The Davenant Institute, a graduate theological school dedicated to renewing Christian wisdom for the Church. I hold my PhD in philosophy at the University of St. Thomas, TX (2025 defense forthcoming), and an MDiv and ThM from The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary (2014, 2015). I specialize in ancient and medieval philosophy, natural law virtue ethics, metaphysics, and classical logic. My publications include On Virtue Ethics: A Theological and Historical Introduction (coming 2026) and contributions to Four Views on Christian Metaphysics, The Jonathan Edwards Encyclopedia, and the Lexham Bible Dictionary. See my store page for details.
