About Me

I grew up in Rochester, NY. I moved to Washington, DC for college at American University, and I received a degree in Political Science and a minor in Marketing. I recently received a juris doctor from South Texas College of Law; I graduated in the top 20 percent with Latin Honors. I chose to move to Houston with my wife for law school, as her family is here and it made a lot of sense for us, especially as we were both looking for warmer weather. I have prior experience working with students when I was in high school, including providing classroom support to a teacher and working with students one-on-one. I tutor American history and AP US history, as well as any intro-level law school courses. My tutoring style depends upon the student's learning style and needs. I believe the best results come from a student-specific plan. During the first session, I find it important to talk with my students about their goals and then tailor my approach to meet their needs. When not tutoring, I enjoy spending time with my wife, our dog, and friends. I enjoy watching any type of sports, but I really love to watch baseball, football, and golf. (Our dog, Yogi, is named after the great Yogi Berra.) I also enjoy playing all types of sports, specifically volleyball and golf.
