I'm an associate professor in the Department of Philosophy at Denison University. I work mainly in metaphysics and the philosophy of comics with a focus on ontology (what exists), modality (how things could have been), depiction (how pictures represent), and caricature (how and why we distort each other in pictures). I also teach logic and the philosophy of science. My first book, Abstract Entities, explores debates about the existence and nature of things like numbers, meanings, and possibilities. My second book, Philosophy of Comics, co-authored with Ley David Elliette Cray, investigates all sorts of philosophical questions posed by the comics medium. I was born and raised on Vancouver Island, home of the Nanaimo Bar.
