About Me
My great regret is that I grew up without a classical education.
I was only exposed to the Great Books when I enrolled at the King's College in New York City, and was shocked to learn that such a wealth of knowledge and wisdom had been kept from me in twelve years of public education. The more I learned, the more I wondered at contemporary curricula which spend such time training occupation skills developed in the past half-century but so little imparting the wisdom of a millennia old tradition.
My indignation led to the resolution that I would ensure my own children were not so deprived, and then I found Great Hearts. It was thrilling to discover an institution dedicated to the notion that there is something of value in the work of our ancestors, and that children have a right to access the legacy of that work. It was also a joy to discover at Great Hearts that I excel at working with young men and women as we search for truth together.
This will be my fifth year teaching at a Great Hearts academy, and like every year it will be filled with brand new lessons and discoveries for myself and your children. I am honored to be working with you to raise them up to be the next great American generation, and cannot wait for the adventures to begin.
