“In man’s case, therefore, we are not dealing with something that develops, but with a fact of formation; something nonexistent has to be produced, starting from nothing.”
Cord Ivanyi
adolescent and High school guide
Cord Ivanyi moved to Arizona as a boy when his parents tired of Lake Erie winters in Ohio. He attended Sahuaro High before attending the University of Arizona. Outside academic circles, he has worked extensively in law enforcement as well as in the automotive industry. He has been a sheriff's deputy and a probation officer in Arizona, and ran multiple automotive shops in New Mexico as an area manager.
Cord has been an educator in one capacity or another since he first taught Latin as a graduate student in 1996. Cord did his undergraduate degree in Latin and Classics, with emphases in archaeology and art history, and his master's degree in classical philology, with a focus on Roman poetry and education in the ancient world. Cord did further graduate work in curriculum and instruction at the University of Phoenix when he began teaching in alternative education at a small school in Scottsdale in 2002. Cord initially came to Creo in 2022 as a farm manager and expressions guide. He obtained his AMI 12-18 Orientation certificate during this time.
Cord's hobbies include bicycles, motorcycles and cars, reading and live music. He can often be found tinkering on a mechanical project, out hiking in the Superstitions, or camping somewhere in the cooler months of the year. He has been slowly pecking out a novel based in the ancient world of Homer.
