Experience

I am currently a writing instructor for the University of Utah Writing and Rhetoric Department. I've taken the GRE, ACT, and the GRE subject test in literature; I scored above the 95th percentile in each of the first two, and learned some hard lessons in the latter. I have a wide and deep familiarity with the writing process, American fictional literature, philosophy (Classical, Anglo-American, and Continental) and have extensive experience teaching.

Hobbies

I am a bike mechanic during the summer, and an enthusiastic (if not quite talented) mountain bike racer. I do a lot of racing, bikepacking, and just all-around riding. When I'm not on the bike, I'm usually hiking with my wife in the Wasatch, watching movies about robots fighting monsters, cooking, reading (of course!), or playing Munchkins. In the winter, you can find me cross-country skiing or fatbiking when I'm not teaching. Right now, I'm reading "The Gay Science," by Friedrich Nietzsche and am trying to find a copy of "Tristram Shandy."
