Hey, what's up?

0:02

And thanks for checking out my profile. My name's Alan.

0:05

I have a Fancy pants,

0:07

master's degree from Harvard University

0:09

in Religion and Literature.

0:11

And for the past six years, I've hung around in Cambridge,

0:15

Massachusetts, and I've worked as a writer

0:17

in various capacities

0:19

and, uh, even Ghost wrote a book, this book.

0:23

Um, I've also worked in, uh, several educational settings,

0:28

including Simmons College and Stanford University.

0:31

I tutored for several years in high school,

0:34

and I recently was an instructor

0:38

for an e-course on how to write a book.

0:40

I really care deeply about literature and writing.

0:44

I'm very passionate about the value that these things have,

0:47

and so it matters a lot to me, not just to teach dry,

0:51

empty facts, but to really help students connect with

0:54

what matters to them most

0:56

and what feels personally meaningful to them.

0:59

I'm also a big sports fan, so

1:03

let's talk hockey, lacrosse, basketball.

1:06

Those are my main things.

1:07

Um, thanks a lot again for checking me out,

1:10

and I look forward to meeting you soon.
