My love of history comes from growing up in Northern Louisiana. My dad used to take me to Mansfield, where the rebels staved off the Union army in the "War of Northern Agression." This led to other trips to Vicksburg, where the Confederates were not so successful. I went to college in Charleston, SC, where I gained an appreciation for all things historic. Since then, I have visited several historic sites, houses, forts, museums and battlefields. I studied documentary video in graduate school in New York City and now live in the suburbs in a small village close to where the "Battle of Pell's Point" was fought. My ancestors have fought in the American Revolution, the War of 1812, the American Civil War, World War I and World War II. I believe that history is the key to unlocking the future.
I am a member of several hereditary, military and patriotic organizations including:
* Company of Military Historians
* Military Order of the World Wars
* Military Society of the War of 1812
* Order of the First World War
* Society of the Descendants of the Colonial Clergy
* Society of the Descendants of Washington's Army at Valley Forge
* Sons of the American Colonists
* Sons of the American Revolution - 1st NY Continental Chapter
* Sons of Confederate Veterans
* Sons of the Revolution - New York
