Mr. Spiotta strives to be a true "philologist" - a Lover of the Word. He comes to St. Martin's after several years teaching at Classical charter-schools in the Phoenix and Dallas areas, and a two-year stint in the City of the Great King, where he honed his Greek, learned Hebrew, and came to know the land he'd always read about in Scripture. He is grateful now to teach what he loves so dearly: Language, History, Holy Scripture, and the Sacred Chant.
