Hi, I'm Alex!

I took a philosophy class my senior year of high school and never looked back. Now, I'm a Postdoctoral Teaching Fellow in Philosophy at Utah State University. I work mainly in early modern philosophy and philosophy of religion, though my work on these topics inevitably crosses over into issues in epistemology, metaphysics, theology, and world religions. I completed my Ph.D. in philosophy at the University of Utah in 2024. My dissertation, The Coherence of Locke’s Account of Miracles, completed under the supervision of Dr. Lex Newman, examined and defended the evidential role of miracles in Locke’s religious epistemology. I plan to continue my research on Locke and other moderns I'm drawn to such as Thomas Paine, Blaise Pascal, and Mary Shepherd.
