About Jack
Hi! My name is Jack. I live in sunny San Diego, CA with my fiancé and our rescue pup Todd. I am originally from New York.
US History is my passion. I have always been drawn to the story of the society around us. I tutor in the subject because I love it and because I want to help students who may be stuck on dates, names, or other historical data to see how plugging into the narrative and drama of history is really the door to academic success.
I also am a lifelong guitar player, and teach private lessons in guitar as well here in San Diego. I previously worked as an Associate Attorney at a maritime law firm in New York.
I look forward to working with you!

History, and American History, is my passion.
I won the 2010 History Department Award at the Dwight Englewood School in Englewood, NJ, which is “[g]iven to a student who has sought to develop a sophisticated understanding of the past, demonstrated a compelling interest in historical questions, and has held himself or herself to the highest standards of scholarship.” I received a 5 on the AP US History exam and a 4 on the AP European History exam.
I later graduated from The University of Chicago with honors in 2014 with a B.A. in History. My senior thesis, “Urban Visions: Building the World Trade Center”, was awarded honors as well. In the context of that rigorous course of study at one of the world’s preeminent research institutions, I got an incredible education in professional historiography and in the substantive arc of American history. My coursework and research had a particular emphasis on 20th Century and political history.
After graduation, as External Affairs Coordinator at the Times Square Alliance, I was responsible for leading efforts to promote the history of Times Square to city residents and visitors. I developed a walking tour of the Times Square Area and partnered with archivists at The New York Times to develop a website highlighting the history of the New Year’s Ball Drop.
In recent years, I have attended law school and worked as an associate attorney, all of which leaves me quite well-suited to assist history students with developing cogent, logical arguments and expertly deploying relevant facts.
