Omnis scriba doctus in regno caelorum similis est homini patrifamilias qui profert de thesauro suo nova et vetera. — Matt. 13:52

"One of the most exciting things that I have the opportunity to do each day is to teach Greek to the sixth grade and Latin to the seventh and eighth grades at MMI. This is the first opportunity that most of the students have to explore a foreign language and Latin is the perfect medium for this. In addition to its tremendous impact on contemporary English vocabulary and grammar, Latin and Greek allow the imagination to reach back over the centuries and hear voices long dead speak again.

My personal interests include writing, time outdoors, study of history, and spending time with family. I have been Pastor of St. Michael's Orthodox Church in Freeland since 1986."
