About Me





I am forever a Hoosier at heart having been born and raised in the small farm community of Centerville, Indiana. Since leaving the “Crossroads of America”, I have had the pleasure of living in the Atlanta, Georgia metropolitan area for over twenty-five years. I am passionate about my family, friends, our dogs, sports of all types, anything historical, and being outdoors. When time allows, I leave the world behind and cruise the picturesque North Georgia mountains on two wheels, read about history and new technologies, or take on another DIY project to see what I can create. I am always looking for new activities that engage the mind, body, and soul while developing a stronger sense of individual accomplishment.
Professionally, I am the product of an array of experiences. For more than twenty years, I built a business with a strong reputation in the construction industry. Feeling I had reached a plateau, I sought out new challenges and decided to pursue my passions. From the earliest recollections of my youth, there was always a natural attraction to history, undoubtedly inspired by several remarkable educators.
Today, I find purpose in ensuring the stories of yesterday remain relevant to 21st century audiences. My guiding principles as a museum professional reflect my commitment to help build a better community through education. I believe that we can use history as a gateway to explore and understand many facets of the contemporary world around us.
