Brief Biography:
I grew up in Washington state and Alabama before studying philosophy at Christendom College in Front Royal, VA. I then earned an MA and PhD in philosophy at the University of Notre Dame, studied for a year at Oxford and taught at the Catholic University of America and Xavier University. I have been at Providence College since 2011, where I now help direct the Humanities Program. I have grown to love New England, and particularly enjoy visiting Rhode Island’s beaches with my wife Dominique and our children Madeleine, Raymond Jr., Juliette, Benedict, and Angelica.
