Academic Writings

I received my MA degree in Political Science from Virginia Tech. My thesis was on school boards, as I wanted to shine light into a little studied area. It uses a mix-method approach.

Political Science MA Thesis: Switch: A Case Study of Voter Turnout following Electoral Change in a School Board Election

Book

The work I am most proud of is the work that came out of a series of veteran interviews I did for a college course. The veteran allowed me to view his personal journal and diary accounts and with his consent, permitted me to edit and publish a book of his memoirs. While he never lived to see his life’s work reach publication, I never forgot the promise I made to him.

Book: Echoes of War

Guest-Articles

Having been a historical reenactor for over two decades, I realized one thing that was a problem at many events: Communication. In the reenacting community it is difficult to get units to communicate and coordinate actions during an event. I recognized the need for change and wrote an article on how to use vintage radio equipment during events.
