Hello Adams! I’m delighted to be starting my fifth year as Resident Dean. I look forward to meeting all of you and working together. My role is to provide academic and personal support during your time here, to coordinate our sophomore advising program, and to help connect you with Harvard’s many resources. I also represent Adams students on the Administrative Board and work with you on any petitions you may need to file.

I’m eager to learn your stories and to help you think through ways to get the most out of your time here. Please feel free to come talk to me about whatever may be on your mind — whether it’s about your courses, College resources and policies, your future plans, health and wellness, or anything else.

I had previously been a Resident Tutor in Adams for six years while pursuing my Ph.D. here in the Study of Religion. After receiving my Ph.D., I then spent four years away from Cambridge, first to teach in the religion department at Oberlin College and then to take up a research fellowship in Melbourne, Australia. Currently, in addition to serving as Resident Dean, I also teach courses focused on modern religious thought, religious ethics, and the philosophy of religion.

I’m married to Meghan, and we have an eight-year-old son named Charlie. Meghan and I were Adams Resident Tutors together, and she received her Ed.D. from Harvard’s Graduate School of Education. She has worked as both a teacher and educational consultant and currently serves as Assistant Dean for Undergraduate Education here at the College. Our son Charlie was born in Cambridge just before we moved to Oberlin, and his current passions are history, geography, and all things Minecraft-related.
