Brent Sverdloff

What Indiana Jones did to glorify Archaeology, trained-memory expert Brent Sverdloff has aimed to do for Language Arts. Armed with a degree in Romance Linguistics, Brent has traveled widely in Latin America and Europe (once jumping off a moving train, just like Indy), taught Spanish and Communications at colleges in New York and California, run an improv theater in San Francisco, and deciphered centuries-old manuscripts as an archivist at Harvard and the Getty Center. Brent is the author of "How Could I Forget You! A Creative Way to Remember Names and Faces" and "Off Book: Memorization Secrets from Performing Artists."
