My teaching fields are American immigration and ethnic history, modern America, modern Europe, and world history. I have recently moved to New York from the Detroit area to research and write my doctoral dissertation. What better place to be for an immigration historian!

I am an avid comic book reader/collector, which take sup far too much of my time when I let it! My first two degrees were in photography, so I still dabble a bit there, more as an observer than anything. I also read a good amoutn of both fiction and non-fiction--lots of sci-fi and fantasy when I can make the time! I cook as well, mainly candy.
