About Gregory Pyne
Gregory Pyne teaches AP Literature and Composition and Senior British Literature and Writing at West Orange High School in Winter Garden, Florida. In 2010, he was honored with a scholarship to Oxford University, where he studied Medieval and Victorian Literature at Exeter College.
A devotee of GK Chesterton, he is a founding member of the Central Florida Chesterton Society and is a proud member of the American Chesterton Society. He is also a founding board member of Chesterton Academy Orlando.
Previously Anglican, he converted to the Catholic Church and was received during Easter Vigils in 2017. He is husband to Raine and a father of three boys: Rowan, Brennan, and Corin.
Varying the quote just a little, he agrees with CS Lewis that “You can never get a cup of coffee big enough or a book long enough to suit me.” He has been known to wear a kilt and carry a sword and shield, as needed.
