 I hail from Toronto, Canada where I studied Commerce and Finance, Economics, and Psychology at the University of Toronto. During my spare time I meddled around in emotions research with Drs.Stephane Cote and Julie McCarthy and their graduate students at the Rotman School of Management.

 I am interested in the processes by which moral systems are formed within a culture, how they are socialized in individuals and groups within a society, and how, evolutionarily, they fit in with human adaptation. These questions I hope to investigate with the good folks at UBC and their collaborators the world over.
