​​​​​​​​​about me

Academically trained in research and writing as an historian, I am also a self-taught artist, designer, author, biographer, blogger, public speaker, and entrepreneur.  In recent years, I have forged together my love of writing about early American history and art to produce works that are most meaningful to me and hopefully encourage others to study America's past.  

I have served as a featured speaker at various engagements on topics related to early American history.  I have also authored several books on early America.  My art represents portraits and events of people from early America.  I am now working on my “The Many Faces of George Washington” series in art, producing a new line of stationery products, researching and writing about the early Republic, and working on a home decor business featuring rustic and bohemian styled products.
