Bio

I was born in Southern Cal in 1975. I attended elementary school in Mexico (Michoacan); junior high and high school in King City, California, graduating in 1994. I received a Bachelors of Science from the School of Journalism and Mass Communication at San Jose State University in 1998, a Masters in Philosophy from the same place, and a PhD in Philosophy from The University of New Mexico, in Albuquerque, NM, in 2006. I have two sons, Julian and Ismael--they are both awesome.

My research deals primarily with Latin American philosophy and Hispanics/Latinos in the US. More specifically, a book to be published by SUNY Press explores the phenomenology of the Mexican philosopher Jorge Portilla, http://www.sunypress.edu/p-5573-the-suspension-of-seriousness.aspx, while a manuscript currently in progress defines, what I call, a "post-immigrant" identity and the issues/crises of subjectivity related to that.
