## Experience

##### Greensburgh Hollow School (Sleepy Hollow, NY)
**Schoolmaster & Sole Operator** — 1790–Present
- Own the full stack: curriculum, instruction, discipline, and P&L, paid in board and home-cooked meals
- Kept order in a one-room house with a firm hand and zero headcount

##### Independent
**Itinerant Singing Master** — 1788–Present
- Cold-started psalmody instruction county-wide; proved value in one session and let word-of-mouth handle acquisition
- Built a second revenue line on nights and weekends

##### Connecticut Common Schools
**Assistant Schoolmaster** — 1785–1790
- Learned the trade bottom-up; discovered a small operator survives on relationships, not resources

#### Education
**Self-directed** — Letters & Natural Philosophy · Cotton Mather's *History of New England Witchcraft* (primary text)

#### Skills
- **Knowledge transfer** - I can teach anyone anything, including a room that would rather not learn.
- **Narrative** - Hold a room with a ghost story. Ask anyone. Ask them carefully.
- **Community embedding** - Boarding-round means I've eaten at every table in the county.
- **Resourcefulness** - No budget, no team, all outcomes.
- **Situational speed** - I read a room fast and, when required, exit faster.

#### Tools
- **Birch rod** - Classified management framework. Results speak for themselves.
- **Psalm-book** - 10k h+ delivering psalmody at high fidelity.
- **Cotton Mather's treatise** - My threat-detection stack. Rarely off.
- **A good horse** - Critical infrastructure. Non-negotiable after dark.
