Hobbies

When I am not teaching or tutoring, I am a scholar-facilitator for the Indiana Humanities Council. I also run a successful Airbnb guest house. When I'm not keeping busy with those other things, I like to try new things in the kitchen using things my wife has raised in our garden. I like the flexibility of tutoring because it allows me to write in the morning or hang out with my wife and my blind schnauzer, Max.
