Henry is a graduate of the University of Tennessee-Chattanooga and Emory University where he studied philosophy and classics.  His academic interests include the Greek and Roman philosophical schools (Plato, Aristotle, Stoics, Epicureans, and Skeptics) as well as interdisciplinary Happiness Studies.  Before joining Honors Henry served as the advisor for LSA's Individualized Major Program.  Henry loves endurance sports (triathlons) and outdoor activities such as backpacking, mountain biking and trail running.
