Christopher Martin
chrisgooverthere@yahoo.com
Christopher Martin teaches history and theology. He also serves as an Adjunct Professor of History at both Southern New Hampshire University and Antelope Valley College. He holds BA degrees in History and Theology from Christendom College (2007); an MA in History from National University (2012); and a Ph.D. in History from CGU (2018). He has been with Homeschool Connections since 2017, and teaching since 2012. He lives in California, with his wife and three sons. Together, they love to hike and travel.
Dr. Martin believes strongly that history is far more important than we typically assume, and also that it is a lot more entertaining. His classes are therefore both serious, and fun, making sure to cover the essential developments of past events, but also, coloring and animating the past with stories and anecdotes that make them come alive.
