I have been a full-time professor at Mt. San Antonio college since 2000. I teach Philosophy courses. My current work involves teaching Critical Thinking and Critical Thinking and Writing courses with the intention of helping students learn to apply the most effective ways to solve problems, create new approaches, and, in sum, improve their overall learning and living experiences. In my personal life, I enjoys meditation and yoga, practices which have found substantial support in the scientific literature for expanding the brain’s capacity for learning and development.
