He received Ph.D. in History from Washington University in St. Louis in Spring 2023. He has been a lecturer in the John and Penelope Biggs Department of Classics since Fall 2023 and has taught courses on Latin, Roman history, and classical reception in modern German history. For the academic year 2025–2026, he will be splitting his teaching time between WashU and Principia College, where he will be teaching World History.

He is currently writing an article on a debate over the authority of the ancient Greek geographer Strabo, in order to demonstrate how the intellectual value system of Renaissance humanists shaped how they constructed authority. This article will be the first major step toward his first book project, Patriotic Scholarship in the German Renaissance, 1488–1582 (tentative title). He contributed an essay on the adoption and adaption of Italian forms for Renaissance antiquarianism by the German humanist Hartmann Schedel to the forthcoming A Companion to Renaissance Antiquarianism (Brill).
