My research interests lie in model theory and intuitionistic logic. My co-advisors are Steffen Lempp at UW and Wim Ruitenburg at Marquette University. I often work closely with Jonathan Fleischmann and Ben Ellison.

I am minoring in math education, and am interested in the mathematical preparation of future teachers. I have worked in many capacities to help improve UW's math content courses for future elementary and middle school teachers.

My CV (DRAFT, last updated 04/13/08), and teaching statement (DRAFT coming soon).

More about me.



My office is 316 Van Vleck Hall; the phone is 3-3062. The best way to get a hold of me is to drop me a line at mcginn (at) math (dot) wisc (dot) edu.

When I'm not thinking about logic or education, I'm usually worrying about the Boston Red Sox, or playing ultimate frisbee.
