Specialization: Renaissance literature
Interests: I am interested in Milton and 17th-century literature, the Renaissance use of Classical and early Medieval literature, especially Plato and Augustine, Renaissance poetics, and early modern philosophy. My B.A. is from Biola University in California where I studied English and Classics with a minor in Religious Studies. I also like traveling with my wife, cooking, and I am an avid Newcastle United fan.
