I think maybe you have your wires crossed. If you do the search it comes up with:
John Partridge is Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Wheaton College in Norton, Massachusetts where he teaches courses in aesthetics, philosophy and literature, and the philosophy of the emotions. He received a Ph.D. from Johns Hopkins University and has published articles on Plato in Ancient Philosophy and Skepsis.
Since John doesnt live in America as it is, thats a bit of farfetched idea. Sorry.
