I have always had a love of history. My family growing up was always discussing family history or world history. So ever since I was a little kid history has always fascinated me.
I have always remembered the phrase “More knowledge has been lost over the ages then what is remembered”. To me, I find that to be so true and I like to learn what we have forgotten. To know and to be able to tell people about historical events or people is a passion of mine.
Indiana Jones was my childhood hero, he thirst for adventure and knowledge was what I wanted to do. He had a knack for bringing history and stories alive, and that’s what I have always wanted to do, just without the Hollywood affects.
I have a teenage son, who challenges me everyday and he is starting to get the history bug as well. My wife is my guiding light and my voice of reason, she keeps me wrangled in to reality.
I write history differently than most. I write it like I talk about it, I try to be engaging with the audience, giving them points of thought or questions to ask themselves. It is a unique way to write history, but I believe it personalizes every story for every reader.
I hope that I will be able to tell many more historical stories to the present or even the future.
