Before pursuing a Master’s in Latin and becoming a Classics teacher, Alec practiced law, trying criminal cases as a prosecutor, first in his home of Mobile, Alabama, then in South Carolina.
In the classroom, Alec’s rich professional history of arguing cases helps bring to life both the practical applications of Classics and the vividness of the ancient world.
Outside of the classroom, Alec helps maintain the rare book collection at Episcopal. He also plays resonator slide guitar and reads avidly. Alec lives in Alexandria with his wife and three daughters.
