In 2012, Mr. Baldwin received his Bachelor of Arts in English with a minor in Latin from the University of California, Berkeley. From then, he worked tutoring high school and college students in the subjects of Latin and English until he entered the Master of Arts in Comparative Literature program at San Francisco State University in 2018. While there, he furthered his study of Latin Language and Literature while also learning Ancient Greek and gaining further knowledge of Roman history and the civilizations of the surrounding ancient world. He graduated with his M.A. in Comparative Literature in December 2021 after giving a graduate lecture on Roman Epic as part of his M.A. exam, for which he earned the Graduate Distinguished Achievement Award for Academic Excellence in May 2022.​​​​‌‍​‍​‍‌‍‌​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌‌‍‍‌‌‍‍​‍​‍​‍‍​‍​‍‌‍‌​‌‍​‌‌‌​‌‍‌‍​‌‍‌‌​​‍‍‌‍​‌‍‌‍‌​‍​‍​‍​​‍​‍‌‍‍​‌​‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‌‍​‍​‍​‍‍​‍​‍‌‍‍​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​‍‍​‍​‍‌‍​‍‌‍​‌‌​‌‍‍‌‌​​‍‍‌‍​‌‌‍‌​‌‍‌‌‍‍‌‌‍‍​‍‍‌‍‌​‌‍​‌‌‌​‌‍‌‍​‌‍‌‌​​‍‍‌‍​‌‍‌‍‌​‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‌​‌‍‍‌‌‌​‌‍‌​‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‌​‌‍‌‌‌‍‌‌‌‌‌​‌‍‌‌​​‌‍‌‌‌​​‍‌‍‌​​‌‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌​‍‌‌​​​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‍‌‍‌‍‍‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‍‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‍‌​‍‌‌‌‍‍‌‌‍‌‌‌​‍‌‍‍‌‌‌​‌‍‌‌‌‍‌‌​​‍‌‌‌‌‌​​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‍‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‍‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‍‍‌‌​‌‌‍‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‍​‌‍‍‌‌​‍‌‌‍‌‌‍‌‌‍‌​‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‌​‌‍‍‌‌‌​​‍​‌‍‌‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌‌‌‍​‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌‍​‌‌‌​‌‍‍​​‌‌‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍​‍​‍‌‌

Mr. Baldwin believes that many paths can lead to the same place. “Probably just as important as the destination is how you get there- and it’s the intense variety of ways to get there that forms character and shapes the mind.”

As a Latin Teacher at BASIS Independent Fremont, Mr. Baldwin is eager to engage with students in learning the Latin language and to demonstrate how the study of Latin prepares students for subjects that require the academic rigor and humanity that reading works in Latin provides.

Apart from teaching, Mr. Baldwin enjoys time in nature, reading, and traveling.
