ABOUT ME

I'm a history nerd raised by a pair of supportive engineers, who saw to it that I got the chance to experience as many of the natural wonders and museums of the Great Plains and Midwest as they could expose me to. I was born just outside Houston, Texas, and graduated from high school there, but I spent several intervening years in North Dakota and northern Indiana.

I attended Indiana State University and graduated with honors with a Bachelor's Degree in History, then went to work at a small museum on the south side of Houston for a year before returning north to Indianapolis to earn a Master's Degree in Museum Studies from Indiana University. Upon graduating I moved to Wyoming to start my career.

I am also an avid fiction and fantasy reader and writer who spends an inordinate amount of time doing research as part of my worldbuilding work.
