About me
I grew up in the Kensington neighborhood of Brooklyn, NY. I have since relocated to the much smaller town of Crawfordsville, Indiana.

I enjoy, but don't often do, a lot of things, including foreign language study, weightlifting, and oil painting. I've recently become intrigued by lexicography and bodybuilding.

Until recently, I worked in the Department of Politics and Government at Illinois State University. During the Fall 2011 semester, the students in my U.S. Political Parties course improved more than 60 articles about state-level Democratic and Republican Party organizations. I'm currently an assistant professor in the Political Science Department at Wabash College.
