About Chris

I am a political philosopher and a political scientist. I am a devout Mormon as well as a committed egalitarian liberal. These two categories might appear to be a paradox. That paradox is me.

I am the Faith and Social Justice Director at Independence Rock Group: Center for Faith, Ethics, and Social Justice.

I have a BA and MA in political science from the University of Utah. I am currently working on a doctorate, also in political science, at Idaho State University.

In 2012, I was a Democratic nominee for the At-large United States House of Representatives seat in Wyoming.

I have taught political science and philosophy at Brigham Young University, Brigham Young University-Idaho, Utah Valley University, and Casper College.

Prior to teaching, I worked at a domestic violence shelter in Park City, UT and at the Booker T. Washington Community Center in Auburn, NY.

I was born in Washington, DC. I grew up in the Maryland suburbs of DC.

My wife, Lyndee, and I live in Casper, WY…for now. We have three children: Todd (13), Shem (10), and Geneva (7).
