Welcome to my website.
I am a Senior Research Fellow at Acton Institute where we examine the intersection between moral philosophy and theology and economics, poverty, entrepreneurship, and culture.
My work includes speaking and writing, documentary film, and I host a podcast called The Moral Imagination.
Here you can find links to my writing, speaking, podcast episodes, recommended reading, and more. Thanks for visiting.
