My work is primarily in contemporary meta-ethics, moral psychology, theory of action, normative theory, and philosophy of religion. Recently I have become especially interested in issues at the intersection of ethics and social psychology. Some of this research was featured in an interview in the online version of the Wake Forest Magazine which is available here.

I was very honored to be awarded both the 2009 Wake Forest University Reid-Doyle Prize for Excellence in Teaching and the 2009 Wake Forest University Award for Excellence in Research. This is the first time that a faculty member has ever won both prizes in the same year. More details are available here.

In January, 2011, I will co-direct the Foundations of Ethics Seminar for Chinese Scholars, with Professor Mark Murphy, Fr. Joseph T. Durkin, S.J. Professor of Philosophy at Georgetown University. This is part of the Values and Virtues in Contemporary China Program, and will be held in Athens, Greece with a follow-up conference in China in October, 2011. More details can be found here.
