As an English teacher, scholar, and poet, I map the world with words.
I am a true devotee of the liberal arts. From the smallest question of paragraph structure to the profoundest meditation on "this quintessence of dust" who dwells "on this isthmus of a middle state," I teach English in order to guide, guard, and goad my willing students into habits that make for virtue.
I have travelled farther than I ever could have imagined, and am happier to have come home than I ever would have believed. My first home taught me that if I truly know where my home is, I need never be homesick. Coming home to the Catholic Church and to my loving wife now teach me how to dwell, to abide.
...and I will read by any light I can find.As an English teacher, scholar, and poet, I map the world with words.
