Summary:
I’m a 43 year old single, male teacher who has been teaching full-time at Veritas Academy for the past 7 years and taught part-time for 9 years before that. I wish to teach at a higher level with more students and more opportunities. Ever since Covid, it has become increasingly difficult financially to live up here and I want to move somewhere I can afford to live. At my current school I’m the only male teacher and the school is largely run by women, so it has been a very lonesome experience without the male companionship and leadership.

Employment History:
Additional Qualifications: I’m well-read in certain areas. I’m a writer. I know Latin and Spanish and am planning learning Old English and Middle English. I have a good sense of humor. Being a Literature teacher, I believe my job is to love students, love books, and introduce the one to the other. And, most of all, I’m a disciple of Jesus Christ and seek to serve Him faithfully and point all my students to Him.
Additional Experience with CCE: Most of my favorite authors, such as Lewis, Tolkien, and Chesterton, were all Classical Christian authors and I learned from them about it – not just teaching it, but living it out. We’re showing our students a way of life, not just introducing them to a body of knowledge.
Hobbies, Interests, and Family: I’m single, but would like to be married and have a family. This community has not been favorable to that by being so small and being so expensive to live in. My parents are old and frail, I have to prodigal siblings, a sister and brother, but an older brother who is a devout Christian and a very close friend.
My hobbies and interests are books, writing, music of all sorts, good conversation, the outdoors, older movies, the culinary arts, pipes and tobacco, and languages.
Top 5 Books: The Civil War: A Narrative by Shelby Foote
The Divine Comedy by Dante
Volume 2 of the Works of Jonathan Edwards
The Fairie Queen by Spenser
The Prelude by Worsdworth
Top 3 Books: The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire by Gibbon – I’ve always heard about how great of a history it is and I’ve planned to read it for several years. Takes a little while but it has been worth it!
Milton: a Biography by Hilaire Belloc. I re-read Paradise Lost a couple of years ago and wanted Belloc’s perspective on it. Belloc was a great poet in his own right and I was wondering how an ardent Roman Catholic would view Milton. Excellent biography!
Leave It to Psmith by Wodehouse. It’s a difficult season of life and there is a great deal of sadness in leaving my current school, so I needed to laugh and Wodehouse certainly makes you do that, along with teaching you how to write brilliant English prose.
Most Influential Books: 1. The Bible
2. The Complete Works of Shakespeare, especially Hamlet, As You Like It, and The Tempest.
3. The Chronicles of Narnia (and every other C.S. Lewis book)
4. The Lord of the Rings (and The Hobbit and Silmarillion)
5. Crime and Punishment and The Brothers Karamazov
6. Orthodoxy (and about twenty others by Chesterton)
7. The Institutes of the Christian Religion (and Calvin’s Commentaries)
8. The City of God and Confessions
9. Vanity Fair
10. Don Quixote
11. East of Eden
12. To Kill a Mockingbird
13. The Temple by George Herbert
… and a thousand others! Those are the first thirteen that sprang to mind.
Preferred Denomination Type: Reformed
Current Church: Redeeming Grace
Current Church Denomination: Reformed Baptist (although I’m a Presbyterian – but the choices are VERY limited up here in Cody)
Current Church Membership: Yes
Current Church Attendance: Weekly
Support of Traditional Marriage: Yes
Theology: If people wish to know what I believe and my theological leanings, I would say they should consult The Bible, The Nicene Creed, the Belgic Confession, Mere Christianity by Lewis, Orthodoxy by Chesterton, the poems of George Herbert, and the hymns of men such as Isaac Watts, John Newton, William Cowper, and many others. In my walk with Christ since He graciously called me to Himself as a five year old child, He has used an Anglican don, a Reformed Presbyterian pastor, a Roman Catholic journalist, and a Russian Orthodox novelist to shape my faith and deepen my love and knowledge of Him. I try to be charitable to all branches of Christianity, even though I myself am of the Protestant branch.
Belief in the inerrancy of Scripture?: Yes
Notes on Scripture: The Bible is true truth, as Francis Schaeffer was fond of saying and writing, and it is the ultimate authority on matters of faith and doctrine.
Additional classical training: My theological training was all classical and involved the classical languages such as Latin and Greek. And I’ve read, studies about, and lived out Classical Christian Education for all of my adults life. Truth, Beauty, and Goodness are what I try to live, not just teach.
Why I want to teach at a classical school: I love the atmosphere of learning and being surrounded by others who have the same vision as I do for education. And with the state that public education is in now, I do not believe I’d be able to teach at a public school and not violate my conscience.
Final thoughts: I love the Lord, I love students, and I love teaching and learning. If that’s the type of person you want at your school, I think I can be a great addition to your school and community.
