A Historian…

I have a passion for our shared humanity - our shared story. My work as a historian has included organizing American Civil War Reenactments, Wild West living history events, first person historical presentations, the history of the lead region of Southwestern Wisconsin, and work with sea shanties and maritime music, along with the history of 19th century European immigration to the United States, particularly the Irish immigrant communities of Southwestern Wisconsin. I also work in genealogy and in the historical research and preservation of traditional and folk music.
