I love tea and have several cups of it a day. I can also quote scenes and sketches from Monty Python's Flying Circus, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, and Monty Python's Life of Brian by heart.

I graduated from Hanover College, a private liberal arts institution on the banks of the Ohio River, with a Bachelor of Arts in History.

Other disciplines that interest me include foreign languages and theology. I hope in the near future to go back to school to get a Master's in Divinity and discern holy orders in the Episcopal Church.
