I am a full-time teacher at Sacramento City College, where I have been a member of the philosophy department since 1977.

I teach classes in Logic & Critical Reasoning; Law, Justice, & Punishment; and Critical Thinking About the Paranormal.

I received my Ph.D. from the University of California at San Diego in 1974. My doctoral dissertation was entitled The Common-Sense Philosophy of Religion of Bishop Edward Stillingfleet (1635-1699). It was published by Martinus Nijhoff, The Hague, 1975.

My textbook Becoming a Critical Thinker was published by Pearson in 2000. A second edition was published in 2005.

The Skeptic's Dictionary was published in August 2003 by John Wiley & Sons. For more information on how that book came about click here and read the preface and introduction to the book.
