MAJ Hoyle joined VMI as both the Writing Center Coordinator and an ERHS Instructor in Fall 2024. He previously taught composition and literature courses at several Virginia colleges, including the University of Virginia, Bridgewater College, and Mountain Gateway Community College. He holds an M.A. in English from the University of Virginia (2020) and a B.A. in English from Bridgewater College (2018). His master’s thesis focused on characterization in the work of Sir Thomas Malory. 

In his capacity as Writing Center Coordinator, MAJ Hoyle is always on the lookout for cadets who might do well in and gain from consulting in the Writing Center. He encourages those interested to contact him directly. 

In addition to managing the Writing Center, MAJ Hoyle teaches first year composition (ERH 101 and 102) and summer session literature courses (ERH 203). Students enrolled in his courses can expect an emphasis on discussions and workshopping. 

Outside of VMI, MAJ Hoyle is an active member of the Stuart Hall School Alumni Association and Shenandoah Latin Dance. He is currently drafting a paper on Robert Frost’s poetry and a conference presentation on late medieval Robin Hood texts. In his spare time, he enjoys swimming, dancing, learning new languages, and reading (over and over again) Patrick O’Brian’s Aubrey-Maturin series.
