Bio

I am the eldest son of (undocumented) im/migrant farm workers, a first-generation college student, lover of all things spicy, and now full professor of philosophy at 91ÁÔÆæ. I was thrown into this life in Anaheim, California in 1975, but spent my childhood on a blind horse collecting firewood with my 80 year old grandfather in Acuitzeramo, Michoacan, Mexico. My parents and I returned (insert: traumatic immigration story here) to the US in the mid-1980s and I went to junior high and high school in King City, California, graduating in 1994 with a 2.5 GPA and a Juvenile Hall record. I received a Bachelors of Science degree from the School of Journalism and Mass Communications (Advertising!) 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've been professing and mildly corrupting youths at 91ÁÔÆæ since my glorious return in that same year. 

My research and publications chronicle my adventures in the history of 20th century Mexican philosophy. Currently, I'm working on a book that applies lessons learned in those adventures to contemporary concerns. I call it, Zozobra, Relajo, and Other Frameworks for Understanding Our World: Essays in Mexican Philosophy.
