[edit] Education & career

I have a Ph.D. and M.A. in History, and a B.A. in English, and I work as a professional historian and curator in a private archives. I have published three books about south Louisiana history and culture, and another book of mine will be released in a few months.

[edit] Fields of interest

My primary interests on Wikipedia tend to relate directly or indirectly to south Louisiana, and sometimes to military history, although I enjoy editing any articles that could use improvement.
