Biography

I consider myself a traveler, language learner, writer, and historian in the making. Some of my favorite sites visited include The Great Theatre in Ephesus, just outside Izmir, Turkey, the Roman Colosseum in Rome, the British Museum in London, the Areopagus Hill in Athens, and Mayan ruins outside Antigua, Guatemala. I am a writer and currently applying to universities in the hopes of undertaking an M.A. in History. I live in Turkey with my wife and son where I study and write about the ancient sites of Ephesus and Smyrna, and explore this beautiful country.
