I have done more than experience American history; I have also taught the subject for many years. I have taught in urban, rural, and suburban public schools. During my career I taught the sons and daughters of farmers, factory workers, prominent politicians, and Nobel Prize winners. I always strove to create informative and engaging lessons with a touch of humor. I am very proud of my students, many of whom have achieved great success in life. 

I earned my B.A. and M.A.T. from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and my M.A. from Wake Forest. I taught a variety of AP subjects including U.S. History, Art History, European History, and American Government. I have published popular books in all these subjects as well as SAT preparation. These books have enabled students across the country to be confident in their abilities when facing high-stakes exams.
