Since the series launched in 2011, he has produced more than 250 videos, attracting more than 100,000 subscribers and 12 million views in the process. He is also the creator of Hexameter.co, an online dactylic hexameter practice site, and Aeneid.co, a repository of resources for students who are studying Vergil.
