Thanks for visiting my website!

I was born and raised in Canada, where I worked as a geologist and a computer nerd. I also did some college radio during my time at Trent University, and later at Guelph University. But I was interested in history a long time before that; I self-published my first book at the ripe age of 15 called Sunderland: A Small Town Growth Case Study.

In 2006 I decided to go back to university, and I’m currently three-quarters through a history degree at North Carolina State University. Most of my research has focused on race relations in reconstruction North Carolina, but I’m also interested in North Carolina colonial currency.

I started accepting public speaking engagements in 2012.
