Athletic Ability:
I'm an avid rock climber and backpacker. I keep in pretty good shape. I have no natural football ability whatsoever, although I do play hard in our annual Thanksgiving day family football game.
Sartorial Style:
Typically jeans and a t-shirt. On dressy days, khaki pants and polo shirt.
Favorite Beverage and Consumption Freq:
Coffee (3-4 cups/day) and Dr. Pepper (1 or 2/day). An occasional Bass Ale.
Political Philosophy:
I'm pretty moderate, which means my views are never represented by actual politicians who end up forced to cater to the extremes.
Religious Philosophy:
I think there are right answers to religious questions. I also think that they are very hard questions and the intelligent reasonable people come to different conclusions.
Musical Favorites:
All over the map. On my iPod you'll find folk, jazz, blues, classical, pop, and even some hip-hop. Some favorites include Dylan, Paul Simon, Bruce Cockburn, John Gorka, Jack Johnson, Dar Williams, Alison Krause, Bangles, Barenaked Ladies, and Traveling Wilburys.
Favorite Quote from an ND Coach:
“One man practicing sportsmanship is better than a hundred teaching it.” (Knute Rockne)
What else do you want us all to know:
I'm a philosophy professor at Mount Union in Alliance Ohio. I love my job (except for the grading).
