When not reading or writing about something related to philosophy, I enjoy spending time with my wonderful family, playing board games, and hiking around our home in Northwest Arkansas.

If you’re just here for animal pictures, our family includes two dogs (Jack and Bean) and three cats (Lucy, Mama Cat, and Pumpkin). We intentionally adopted two of them (Lucy and Jack); the others showed up on our doorstep and decided to stay (though Pumpkin didn’t have a choice, since he was born in our apartment!).

In a previous life, I also enjoyed performing in community theater productions (including Into the Woods, The Foreigner, Curtains, and Oklahoma!)
