I grew up in both Aotearoa New Zealand (Christchurch) and Canada (Halifax). Since then, Philosophy has taken me to Cambridge, South Bend, Bonn, and now the Boston area. I sound pretty North American, but I feel most like a Kiwi. My parents' bach in Wānaka is where I feel most at home.

When I'm not philosophizing (and sometimes when I am), I love to be outdoors running, hiking (tramping), camping, skiing etc. I have also recently taken up indoor climbing. One day, when I am better at it, I hope to dabble in some outdoor climbing too.

I also enjoy reading fiction, and will happily spend an entire weekend in the company of a good book. Most recently, I've been devouring the work of Brandon Sanderson, savouring Sophie Ward's Love and Other Thought Experiments, and Ken Liu's The Paper Menagerie collection, and re-reading Jane Austen's Persuasion.
