I am in constant pursuit of new knowledge and challenges. I derive complete satisfaction from learning/doing something new and sharing it/using it to help others.
I especially enjoy learning, sharing and debating the finer points of history, politics, technology, and languages (both computer and other).
I am a lover of history ever since my parents took me on a Civil War vacation when I was 12. A two-week and five-state jaunt through battlefields in Pennsylvania, Virginia, Georgia, Tennessee, and Kentucky. That experience kicked off a life-long desire to learn and share knowledge, especially about history.
Since then, I have spent countless hours volunteering at national, state, and local museums. I once spent an entire summer as an intern with the National Museum of American History. I have even gotten film and TV jobs!
History has informed my life, my hobbies (I collect 78 records, campaign paraphernalia, militaria, 1940s technology, vintage clothing, and do historical reenactments), my writing (I edited and published a veteran’s diary), and has spurred me to learn more about both the world I live in and the people, cultures, and places that are a part of it.
For more information about me please see my Publications, Web Development, and Willie and Joe Studios (a showcase for my small-bore technology products).

I’m also a member of the Electronic Frontier Foundation and a proud card-carrying ACLU member
