I completed my PhD in history at the University of Saskatchewan and have been teaching there, at St. Peter’s College and at a number of other institutions for the past 9 years. My first book, Diefenbaker and Latin America: The Pursuit of Canadian Autonomy was published last year and my current research examines Diefenbaker’s relationship to the Hellenic World (Greece, Cyprus and the Greek-Canadian Community). My wife Eleni and I have three children under the age of 8 (which also means I’m perpetually sleep deprived.) I’m a huge soccer fan and inevitably pepper my lectures with soccer references (for example, the Canadian federal-provincial relation is like a coach trying to get a team full of superstars on the same page) which I think helps students to better understand the material (and occasionally drives them nuts.)
