An accomplished writer, author, and academic instructor, I hold a Master of Arts in Philosophy from Washington State University, graduating Summa Cum Laude. With decades of experience in teaching, writing, and editing, I bring a unique blend of academic rigor and accessible communication to a wide range of subjects including philosophy, Christian thought, and wellness. My career has included positions as a university instructor at institutions such as Washington State University, Spokane Community College, Gonzaga University, and North Idaho College. In these roles, I developed academic syllabi and instructional materials for college-level philosophy courses, drawing on my deep grounding in philosophical analysis and classical texts.
As an author, I have written several books, both published and forthcoming, including The Fitness Mindset: 7 Habits for Peak Performance (2021), Reflections on Growth: An Existential Journey (2025), and Challenging Mental Barriers (forthcoming), with Fitness After Cancer also in development. My writing is marked by linguistic precision, structural clarity, and thoughtful engagement with complex ideas. I maintain a daily editorial practice focused on enhancing readability and impact, and I have also contributed to technical writing projects, notably revising the Washington State Insurance Commissioner Exam Bulletin in September 2021 to improve its language and clarity.
In addition to published works, I have authored numerous academic papers on philosophical topics such as Aristotelian ethics, Kantian metaphysics, and bioethics. My master's thesis, “Happiness in Action and Contemplation in Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics,” exemplifies my analytical and research skills. Other notable papers include “The Contested Enhancement of Caffeine,” “Three Views on Kant’s Distinction Between Phenomena and Noumena,” “Schemata and Event-Causality in Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason,” “Is Kant a Compatibilist or an Incompatibilist?” and “Virtue Care Ethics as a Moral Theory.” I have also produced several unpublished manuscripts aimed at supplementing logic and philosophy curricula, including Logic Essentials: Reasoning to Symbolic Logic and Socrates to Rawls: Answers to Tough Philosophical Questions.
My professional strengths include exceptional command of grammar, spelling, and stylistic clarity, as well as strong editorial precision. I am self-motivated, highly organized, and skilled at conveying complex ideas in a clear and engaging manner suitable for both academic and general audiences. I also hold a Bachelor of Arts in Religious Studies from La Sierra University, where I graduated Cum Laude, further enhancing my interdisciplinary perspective across theology, philosophy, and the humanities.
