Summary

I offer a deep dive into the humanities that is saturated with a Christian worldview. I have a general knowledge of history, art, literature, and rhetoric. I also have extensive experience teaching at the collegiate level, in person and online, as well as in various ecclesiastical settings. I am deeply involved in my childrens' own education and their small group community, for whom I frequently lead three-day field trips exploring US history (and sometimes conspiracy theories).
