I’m currently a Visiting Assistant Professor at the University of the South (Sewanee) in Sewanee, TN, where I live with my wife Hannah and my dog Hugo. I graduated from Davidson College with a BA in Classics in 2011. I’m originally from central Florida. My hobbies include cultivating bonsai, baking sourdough bread, and trail running.

Research Interests

• Greek Poetry: Lyric, Tragedy
• Riddles and Fables; Popular Literature
• Digital approaches to scholarship and pedagogy

Education and Current Research

I received my Ph.D. in Classics from the University of Texas at Austin in May 2018. My dissertation, “Pindar and the Enigmatic Tradition,” considers questions such as:

• Why are there so many child riddlers in Greek literature?
• Who killed Homer anyways?
• What cow is white, red, and black?

I’m currently revising the project into a monograph. If you’re into Pindar, riddles, or anything remotely similar, drop me a line.

I’m also working on a digital project: a critical edition of John Moschus’ Spiritual Meadow. See Projects.
