“We call those studies liberal which are worthy of a free human being; those studies by which we attain and practice virtue and wisdom; that education which calls forth, trains, and develops those highest gifts of body and mind which ennoble human beings, and which are rightly judged to rank next in dignity to virtue only. For I may affirm with fullest conviction that we shall not have attained wisdom in our later years unless in our earliest we have sincerely entered on its search...”— Petrus Paulus Vergerius

Education
Ph.D., Marquette University, 2018
In the study and teaching of history, my purpose is to uncover, correct, and preserve the memory of Christian and Western society. Remembering well is my practice and service as an historian. Whatever scholarly contribution might come through that work, the only reason anyone does it well or carefully is for the joy it brings. The pursuit of understanding is not only valuable, it’s fun; and that because it’s good. I hope then that my students cultivate the discipline of remembering well as a habit of being, a practice, that brings wisdom and joy not only during their too-short years at Hillsdale, but in their life and work beyond.
