"Fishing is the most wonderful thing I do in my life, barring some equally delightful unmentionables, and not counting gluttony and booze. It's in the top five." - Jim Harrison, Silent Seasons |

| About Me I was born in 1969 in Traverse City, Michigan. I attended the Traverse City Senior High School, Albion College (A.B. in philosophy, 1991), Michigan State University, (M.A. in philosophy, 1993), and the University of Missouri (Ph.D. in philosophy, 1997). In the academic year of 1993-1994, I was an instructor of philosophy at Central Michigan University and I returned to CMU in the spring of 1998 as an assistant professor. I am married and have a dog named Mackinaw. When I am not being professorial, I enjoy fly fishing, genealogy, games, guitar, and generally being outside. My intellectual interests include the history of analytic philosophy, the theory of knowledge, environmental philosophy, the philosophy of Ludwig Wittgenstein, and analytical metaphysics (including metaethics). I regard philosophy as an activity, rather than a body of information - philosophy is best understood as a collection of different methods of resolving (solving, dissolving) intellectual puzzles. There are some for whom 'philosophical' puzzles are not very problematic or interesting - philosophy, after all, bakes no bread - but there are also those who find such puzzles to be, well, puzzling. I am one of those puzzled persons. The 2004 Fly Rod & Reel Trout Bum Tournament In the summer of 2004
I, along with my fishing partner Bryon Anderson, were chosen to compete
in the 2004 Fly Rod & Reel Trout Bum Tournament (we competed as
Team Leaky Waders). We raised funds for
The Anglers of the Au Sable
while fishing for twelve days on a war chest of $500. We won the
tournament. Details about the
tournament, about us, and about our competitors can be meticulously
examined at www.flyrodreel.com.
We had a really good time and got to be fly fishing celebrities for a
few weeks! |
