Joined the Department:

September 2006

I was born in Northeast Nebraska and I've lived here all my life. I love movies and all sorts of things historical. My historical hobbies are the US Civil War and World War II. I probably got interested in history because of the wars. My interest at UNL is the American West.


Education:

I got my Masters at the University of Nebraska-Kearney 2005. I did my thesis on the success or failure of the Homestead Act in Antelope County Nebraska(which is were I was born.

I'm presently seeking my doctorate at UNL. I'm looking into US policies concern Indian land tenure.
