I am a professional historian who resides in Las Cruces, New Mexico. A native of Wisconsin and a former resident of Detroit, Michigan and Chicago, Illinois, I hold a B.A. from Depaul University and a graduate degree from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. My interests revolve around a wide range of historical topics, particularly the emerging field of Atlantic History, the Reconstruction-era Congress, and also the Progressive era in North America. Other interests are research, film, the blues, baseball and architecture.
I am also addicted to travel.
