I studied history and philosophy at the University of Georgia (1997). I then earned a MA at University Chicago focusing on history methodology (1999). I returned to UGA to work on Plato and Aristotle writing my dissertation on the latter's biology, earning my PhD in 2008. ODU is the fourth institution where I have taught (Kenyon, Portland State, Pacific).
