I’m Garrett Ryan. I grew up in Chicago, was a classics major at Carleton College, and earned a PhD in Greek and Roman history at the University of Michigan. After defending my dissertation, I taught at a few universities before leaving academia.
These days, I run the YouTube channel toldinstone, and am the proud author of three books, which you can preview here. Every year, I lead trips to different parts of the ancient world, which you can read about on this page. The Travel Blog collects some of the more interesting stories from my wanderings over the years.
