I am currently a 2L at the University of Chicago Law School. I completed my PhD in Philosophy at the University of Michigan in 2024. My dissertation took up a set of questions at the interface of legal and philosophical theories of privacy and property.
My research spans philosophy and law, with a particular focus on torts, property, remedies, general jurisprudence, and metaethics. Current papers in progress address the tort of false light, the sensitivity paradigm in privacy regulation, and the regulation of voting rules in property systems governed by association.
My PhD was supervised by Elizabeth Anderson, Sarah Buss, Renée Jorgensen, Gabe Mendlow, and Nico Cornell.
Before Michigan, I received a master's in Philosophy from the St Andrews and Stirling Graduate Programme in 2014, with a dissertation on epistemology, theoretical disagreement, and philosophical skepticism supervised by Jessica Brown. I received my bachelor's in Philosophy from Yale in 2013, where I was most influenced by Shelly Kagan, Tamar Gendler, Steve Darwall, and Keith DeRose.
I worked for many years as a commercial fisherman in Alaska. Before that I sold shoes. Before that I rented VHS tapes.
