The goal is that students will understand something about the lives of Hamilton and Jefferson, how their backgrounds led them to hold particular views, and the important role both of them played in the development of the American nation.

We live in a big and fascinating world and one of my goals with my classes is to help kids develop an interest and appreciation for the world around them and different cultures. My classes draw from my own experiences as a world traveler. I've visited and lived abroad in seventeen countries. I'm a lifelong student of history and I'm also the former deputy director of the historic home of President Ronald Reagan. In 2010 was a candidate for United States Congress and I am a 2002 graduate of Indiana Wesleyan University with a bachelor of science degree in history and political science. In high school I memorized Patrick Henry's "War Inevitable" speech. Over the course of my life I've read 25+ biographies of America's Founding Fathers. In college I took an independent study course on the Federalist Papers (largely authored by Hamilton). I saw Hamilton on Broadway, and even named my dog Hamilton! I also have several years of experience in working with students as a teacher and mentor and look forward to having the opportunity to invest in the life of your learner.
