Bio

After some 25 years in the computer and high-tech industries, I decided to abandon the 'Bill Gates business model of life' for the fame and fortune of academia. Having taught full-time one-year replacement positions at Merrimack and Muskingum colleges, where the courses I presented included Ethics, Logic, Philosophy of Science, Technology and Values, and American Pragmatism, I am currently an independent scholar working on various projects relating to the philosophy of Alfred North Whitehead, the logical forms and presuppostions of measurement, and the connections between spatial reasoning and general metaphysics. My publications include *Whitehead and the Measurement Problem of Cosmology*, through ontos-verlag (May 2006), "Alfred North Whitehead" (The Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy, http://www.iep.utm.edu/w/whitehed.htm), “Thunder Road,” in *Bruce Springsteen and Philosophy*, Edited by Randall E. Auxier and Doug Anderson, Popular Culture and Philosophy series, Open Court Publishing Company, Chicago (2008), “Theory of Groups and Social Measurement,” The Reasoner, http://www.thereasoner.org, volume 2, number 2, (February 2008) and “Davidson and the Impossibility of Psychophysical Laws” (Synthese 145 1, 2005). I presently keep house with my three cats, who despair of my ever learning anything interesting.
