What My
Work Is About
My work beings with our lived experience.
​
I study consciousness, the soul, and human nature because these are not remote question. They shape how we live; how we understand the conditions of ordinary life: attention, knowledge, responsibility, love, suffering, worship, hope, and what it means to have a good life.​
Many of our most urgent public debates-including debates about God, love, artificial intelligence, politics, and justice-are downstream from a deeper confusion about the human person. ​​
When a culture loses clarity about the person, body and soul, it loses clarity about everything built on top of it: education, politics, technology, institutions, even spiritual life.

Philosophy of Technology & Culture
​​​​We are in a moment where our technology is growing far more powerful than our understanding of how and why technology matters.
Our technologies are for more powerful than our spiritual and moral capabilities.
Our public dialogue is not capable of correcting this because it reduces us to behavior, preference, output, and data points.
My work tries to being that deeper question back into view, so the oldest philosophical questions can be put to the test in live again.
My Work
in Two Forms
NOVUS
RESEARCH · FORMATION · PUBLIC LIFE
NOVUS is nonprofit philosophy research and formation development center. Through NOVUS, I collaborate with scholars, leaders, tech designers, and artists to recover a deep understanding and application of the human soul, and to cultivate forms of life and leadership shaped by truth, wisdom, and spiritual depth.
What We Can't Ignore
The deeper questions have not disappeared. They've become harder to ignore.​​​​
What are we?
What is the soul?
What is faith for?
What kinds of life leads to wholeness?
What is consciousness?
What can we know?
What is technology for?
