Brief Biographical Sketch:

Hey All! My name is Henry and I'm from the great state of Maine! I've been a huge history guy since I was a little kid, and I especially loved learning about anything I could get my hands on. I'm always reading some sort of book (usually history), and am always down to hear some of your favorites. This is my second year teaching at Splash, and I'm very excited to be here. I hope to see you in my class!
