I work in Canadian higher education as a writing specialist, and I publish as an independent scholar.

My academic and public writing focuses on secular humanism, nonreligion, and a little bit of religion on the side (especially high-demand religious groups).

Latest: Free Inquiry (2026). The Prophet and the Pathologist: Stephen Kent, Massimo Introvigne, and the Battle for an Honest Study of Religion
