Public Speaking

I have been a public speaker for over 15 years, speaking to crowds as small as 10 and as large as 2,000+. I have taught public speaking to middle and high school students as well as college level students and even adults. I can help you whether you have a class assignment or you are presenting something at work.

Greek,

Greek

My expertise is specifically in Biblical, Koine Greek of the New Testament. I have taken four semesters of Greek and can teach students not only how to read the language but also how to write it. I can teach the language to beginners or to those in the more advanced stages.
Hebrew,

Hebrew

My expertise is specifically in Biblical Hebrew, not modern, conversational Hebrew. I have studied Hebrew at the Master's level, taking Hebrew 1, Hebrew 2, and being part of a group who helped our seminary create a Hebrew 3 class, which was specifically geared toward audibly reading large passages of Hebrew Scripture and interpreting on the spot. Lastly, I have studied this wonderful language at a Reform Synagogue, an experience that is one of the greatest of my life.

I have taught Speech/Public Speaking on the middle school, high school, and college levels. Not only that, but I continue to coach many students in the art of speech, helping them to hone their skills in verbal communication, students from all types of backgrounds and with all types of needs.

Sports/Recreation

Basketball,

Basketball

I have played basketball all my life, playing organized ball from age 7 and making it all the way overseas to Germany where I played semi-professionally. Not only have I played at all levels, I have also coached middle school and high school basketball.
Chess,

Chess

If you are wanting to learn the game of chess, I am your person. I currently play on chess.com and at one point reached a rating of over 1700. I can teach you gambits, traps, tricks, openings, middle, and end games to help your game improve.
Cooking

Cooking

My love for food started as I worked in the restaurant business when I was 16, working in classic American cuisine restaurants and moving up to fine dining cafes and bistros. My oldest sister is a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America and I was able to glean a lot of second-hand wisdom from her, which has allowed me to make incredible dishes for my kids at home. I specialize in quick, restaurant-style meals, as well as southern smoked foods, such as pulled pork, ribs, brisket, chicken, pork belly, or anything else southern. If you want to save money, make amazing meals at home, and possibly have picky children and want to expand their palates and horizons, I'm your person!
