Employment History:
| Position | Employer | Dates of Service | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Teacher | True North Classical Academy | 2022-now | Taught moral philosophy, algebra, geometry, AP Seminar and Research, Economics, and Senior Thesis |
Additional Qualifications: I have taught Austrian Economics from a curriculum designed specifically for a classical school from Hillsdale College, Geometry through Euclid’s postulates, algebra 1 and pre-algebra (8th grade), AP Capstone (Seminar and Research), and lead our school’s Senior Thesis program, which helps students integrate philosophical and literary texts in a synthesis that marks the end of their humane letters courses.
Additional Experience with CCE: Although I teach at a classical charter, I am completely convinced that any good education must be explicitly and thoroughly Christian. My school has brought in leaders in the classical Christian movement like Christopher Perrin and Joshua Gibbs to teach on the different aspects and distinctives of the classical pedagogy. I am looking for a place where I can teach under the presupposition of a Christian worldview. I am familiar with Doug Wilson’s analogy of the cut-flowers display—I do not see myself as a curator of vases in the near future.
Hobbies, Interests, and Family: Tracy and I have been married for 2 years and have a one-year-old son named Juan David. We enjoy hosting or attending Sabbath dinners with our church community. We have recently grown in a desire to be more musically literate, which has made me pick up the guitar to lead psalm and hymn singing at home. I like to read and am currently chipping away at an apparently endless Western canon. We have a corgi named Lenny and he likes to sleep.
Top 5 Books: Abolition of Man by CS Lewis
The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky
The Law by Frederic Bastiat
Emille by Rousseau or Communist Manifesto by Marx (as a representation of modern thought)
Orthodoxy by GK Chesterton
Top 3 Books: Abolition of Man is incredibly important at explaining the rot that our society is currently facing, and in my opinion, healing from. The postmodern notion that there is a world of facts without a trace of value, and a world of sentiments without a trace of truth, has been disserving kids that truly grow up without “chests”. I agree with Lewis that what we need to do is irrigate deserts. It has given me clarity in my telos as a teacher, even if I don’t like his universalist tendencies (framing the logos as the Tao instead of Christ).
The Law by Bastiat is so fun to read because of his punchy, incisive writing. It exposes the problems with the “socialist writers” so well. It is also a blast to teach to my seniors because it exposes them to really important ideas, primarily, the idea that our laws exist as a reflection of a preeminent Law. Bastiat has all of the force of Voltaire without the corrosive liberalism.
The Brothers K portrays suffering well beautifully.
Most Influential Books: Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics
Plato’s Republic
Abolition of Man by Lewis
Mere Christianity by Lewis
Crime and Punishment by Dostoevsky
The Brothers Karamazov by Dostoevsky
Frankenstein by Shelley
Fahrenheit 451 by Bradburry
Animal Farm by Orwell
1984 by Orwell
Several Shakespearean plays
The Picture of Dorian Gray by Wilde
Candide by Voltaire
Preferred Denomination Type: Reformed
Current Church: Kendall Baptist Church
Current Church Denomination: Reformed Baptist
Current Church Membership: Yes
Current Church Attendance: Weekly
Support of Traditional Marriage: Yes
Theology: I currently adhere to the 1689 London Baptist Confession, although I have recently been deeply studying the Reformed tradition and beginning to be persuaded by Westminster covenant theology. It has been a process figuring it out. Definitely, I believe in the 5 Solas, inerrancy, am presuppositional in my apologetics, lean towards an optimistic eschatology, and have been really hungry for higher liturgy and formal worship. An embodied liturgy I would say, which I think is not a coincidence with my time spent contemplating the ancients and classical education.
Belief in the inerrancy of Scripture?: Yes
Notes on Scripture: Louis Berkhof’s systematic theology, he explains that the necessary axioms for the Christian are two: the Triune God exists and He reveals Himself in His Word. That Scripture has a dual authorship, God and man, and that God is the primary author (2 Timothy 3:16), is non-negotiable for the Christian. He conveys His will to us perfectly in His Word and helps us know it through the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 1-2).
Additional classical training: Working for 4 years at True North Classical Academy has exposed me to several workshops hosted by men like Christopher Perrin, Brian Williams, Joshua Gibbs, and Robert Ingram. I am currently enrolled in the MAT in Classical Education program at Eastern University’s Templeton Honors College, a private Christian university. I hope to be a lifelong learner of classical pedagogy and the Western canon.
Why I want to teach at a classical school: Because I want to live in a country with excellent Christians, and this is the way to do it. Doug Wilson says that second to worship, education is the most religious thing we do. I believe that’s true, and I want to participate and devout my life to gospel ministry in the classroom. I believe God has equipped me with gifts towards this work, and I want to glorify Him by putting them to good use. I also want to be part of legacy work for my family, and would like to work at a school that my children could flourish in.
Final thoughts: I am looking for a school that is located somewhere with robust Christian fellowship. I want to be at a church that yearns for the intellectual and musical literacy we want for our children. The contemplative life does not end after graduation day. I would like to be involved in a community that fosters not just Christian piety but seeks to enjoy and preserve the beauty of our Western heritage.
