Nine years as a history professor at Norwalk Community College in Norwalk, CT. Responses from students has been overwhelmingly positive during that time period. Eight years as a history professor at Sacred Heart University in Fairfield, CT. Responses from students has been overwhelmingly positive during this time period. Two years as a history, classical studies, and religious studies at Sacred Heart University. Three years as a docent at the Old Manse in Concord Massachusetts. I give tours and help operate this house, which was built in 1770, and whose residents witnessed the opening battle of the American Revolution.

Hobbies
I love reading and studying history, classical literature, and mythology of all kinds. I can help students understand the big picture of historical events, and I can also help them read history books, both ancient and modern, that can sometimes be difficult to understand if you are unfamiliar with them. I enjoy visiting historic and natural sites, especially in Massachusetts, which is why working at the Old Manse has been such a joy. I like to study French in my spare time, but I am very much a beginner!
