2011-Present
President and Founder, ReasonIO, Kingston, NY
After moving to the Hudson Valley, with my wife (and partner) and I founded ReasonIO as an educational consulting company, focused on "putting philosophy into practice." ReasonIO is a platform for both of us to provide educators and institutions with access to our skills in educational assessment, practical reasoning and decision-making, course design, faculty development, and infusion of Ethics and Critical Thinking into curricula and workplaces.
ReasonIO also provides a hub for our speaking and workshop activities, for my YouTube philosophy lectures, and for the online courses we're currently developing.
2011-Present
Adjunct Instructor, Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies, Marist College, Poughkeepsie, NY.
I started teaching for Marist when I moved up to the Hudson Valley in New York. All of my face to face classes at Marist are web-enhanced with the Sakai CMS, allowing me to create a rich, interactive learning environment for my students. I've been asked to develop and teach online Ethics classes (10 week, and now, 4 week intensive) for Marist as well.
Courses Taught: PHIL 101: Introduction to Philosophy, PHIL 300 Ethics
2008-2011
Assistant Professor, Department of Government and History, Fayetteville State University, Fayetteville, NC
I relocated to North Carolina, taking a position at Fayetteville State, a historically black college in the UNC system, where I taught and developed primarily Critical Thinking courses. All of my face to face classes at FSU were web-enhanced using the Blackboard CMS. I also taught one course for FSU at Sampson Correctional Facility.
While continuing scholarship and publication in my disciplines, I also became very actively involved in academic leadership, assessment of student learning, and faculty development. Although I was in line for early promotion and tenure, and found the work I carried out at FSU engaging and satisfying, I chose to leave FSU in order to move north so I could live closer to my soon-to-be wife.
Courses Taught: PHIL 110: Critical Thinking,
PHIL 210 Introduction to Philosophy, PHIL 212: African-American Philosophy, PHIL 310: Philosophy of Religion
2002-2008
Assistant Professor, Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies, Ball State University, Muncie, IN
In my first position as a newly minted Ph.D., my work with Ball State involved teaching full time, on-site in their Extended Education program in a maximum security prison (Indiana State Prison). Inmates earned Bachelor degrees, and were able to minor in Philosophy and Religious Studies, so I had to cover a very wide curriculum. I researched, developed, and taught many different classes.
I very much enjoyed teaching and interacting with these prison students, and developed some lasting friendships in the process.

Adjunct Instructor, Department of Philosophy, Southern Illinois University Carbondale, IL
After working briefly as a teaching assistant, my department started giving me my own courses to develop and teach, starting me off with lower level courses, then giving me an upper level course I'd had my eye upon for some time. Teaching those courses provided me with some very valuable learning experiences of my own.
Courses Taught: PHIL 104: Introduction to Ethics, PHIL 309-I: Philosophy of Politics, Law, and Justice
