Hometown: Lindenhurst, New York

As a philosophy professor, I believe in starting with a question. At WVU, I get to do a lot of things that really make me happy. I teach courses that I think are interesting, I hang out with students who I think are smart, unpretentious, and wonderful, and I get to work on creative projects like The Question. In The Question, we ask people from across campus to discuss questions such as “Why go to college?” and “Is the death penalty wrong?” Check out http://thequestion.blogs.wvu.edu/ to share your opinions.
