About Me

I have lived in NC for a number of years. I have a Masters Degree in history and have taught in the public school system. I have also taught American History and Western Civilization at the college level. I believe that learning requires unbiased observation rather than seeing what one wishes to see. If I can help with any questions please let me know or visit the U.S. & World History group and post any questions.
