HEADS UP: I'm accepting applications for a new grad student to start in Fall 2018

 

I grew up in a small Colorado mountain town just a few minutes away from South Park county. I received my B. S. from the University of Denver before heading to Canada for grad school. I received both an M. A. and a Ph. D. from the University of British Columbia, where my dissertation work explored perceptions of atheists. 

I like camping, hiking, soccer, biking, and most other outdoor activities. I'm a pretty good cook, and (thanks to some friends from grad school) an aspiring oenophile.

 

Unlike British comedian Ricky Gervais - no relation, as far as I know - I don't pronounce the "s" in Gervais. So phonetically, it's jer-vay.
