I'm an award-winning journalist who writes news articles, features and book reviews for newspapers, magazines and online publications. My passions are history, books, sports, movies, culture, people and more.
I am fascinated by history and love to tell the stories of people who made their mark in the annals of time. World War II, American Civil War, American Revolution, Napoleonic Wars and Ancient Rome are a few of the eras that I love.
I am currently writing my first book: a narrative nonfiction history about a little-known rescue operation in France during World War II. More details to follow soon!
