I graduated from Arizona State University with a minor in Russian studies. After graduating I lived in Moscow for six weeks furthering my studies. Living with a host family and in the Russian culture helped me take the step from book studies to real world applications of the language. To be frank I am not fluent, but I am conversational and can help any beginning to intermediate Russian student expand their language skills.
I also list football and vocal music as areas of expertise. I was an all conference offensive lineman and can help with training or teaching the game. I was in an honors choir and sang bass and tenor. I can help with sight reading, basic music theory and teach proper singing technique.
