Experience
I'm a Ph.D. candidate who specializes in the history of medieval Spain, but I have expertise in a variety of areas: Ancient, Medieval, and Modern. I've been a college instructor for five years, and have taught courses on World History, Western Civilization, and even taught a Religious Studies course, Intro to Islam. My specialization in medieval Spain has given me familiarity with the Christian and Islamic traditions, and my degree in Eastern Classics has given me a level of expertise in the Eastern Religions as well. I also have a number of publications (book reviews, encyclopedia articles, and one scholarly paper), and so can help you with your writing. Lastly, I have experience as an AP World History exam reader and can help you prepare effectively for that particular test.

Hobbies
Besides History, I have a great love for music. I used to be guitar/bass teacher and enjoy playing and listening to all kinds of music. My wife and I lived in Toledo, Spain for a year when I was a Fulbright scholar and I developed a great admiration and appreciation for Spanish culture while there. (Que Viva España!) I truly believe in the importance of travel and living abroad for expanding one's life experience and gaining an understanding of our common humanity. In my spare time I also like to cook for my wife. I try to get in some exercise when I can. And, I'm a huge Detroit Tigers fan!
