- About Me
Creator and editor of Ordinary Philosophy blog, podcast, and history of ideas travel series, I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Philosophy with an emphasis on Applied Ethics and Law from Sacramento State University, a Master’s degree in Intellectual History from the University of Edinburgh, and am currently pursuing my Doctoral degree in History at the University of Edinburgh. I’m also an avid hiker and quilter, love movies, mystery stories, and music, and think coffee, ale, cheese, and a British breakfast are among the most delightful things the world has to offer.
