Biography

John Jensen is a proud North Idaho College alum (1987). As an NIC student, he ran on the track/cross country teams and studied Philosophy, Journalism, and Literature. He finished up at Southern Oregon University (1989). Jensen experimented with a variety of jobs after college—beach bum, volleyball and track coach, newspaper editor, college administrator—before attending University of Idaho for a Master’s degree in Philosophy. Since then, he has enjoyed teaching at NIC and serving as advisor to several clubs: Young Democrats, Secular Students Alliance, Devil’s Advocates, Students for Progressive Change, Philosophy Club, and Debate Club.

Jensen has always been fascinated by the mysteries and struggles of the human condition and enjoys exploring those topics in his Philosophy courses. He has an amazingly supportive wife, three wonderful step-daughters, two small dogs, a silly cat named Romeo who eats raspberries off the bush, and a neurotic feline named Flopsy who loves eating those flaky pistachio skins between the nut and the shell.
