invasive non-native pathogens, fungi, and insects are killing the trees behind me.

Greetings! I hail from Edinboro, Pennsylvania and did my undergraduate work at Edinboro University of Pennsylvania. Some of my favorite Western philosophers are Aristotle, Kant, J. S. Mill, Bertrand Russell, Wittgenstein, John Rawls, and Martha Nussbaum. I enjoy reading, good movies, hiking, camping, biking, cooking, and working out at the gym once in a while. I teach philosophy at The University of Nebraska - Omaha, the College of Saint Mary, Metropolitan Community College , Midland Lutheran College and Nebraska Methodist College in Omaha, NE. I am also very busy trying finish my PhD in philosophy at the University of Nebraska - Lincoln. My dissertation is an extension of Kantian social contract theory into the realm of environmental ethics.
Both my mother and father are retired, and live in Edinboro, PA. My father is Professor Emeritus at Edinboro University of PA's Department of Mathematics and Computer Science. I have a sister who is married and lives near Syracuse, NY.
