I was born in Wisconsin, raised in St. Paul, Minnesota and live my life in Seattle, Washington.

I'm now a freelance writer / historian with an expertise in Norwegian-American genealogical research, house histories, and Pacific Northwest social history. I volunteer weekly at the regional office of the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) as a citizen advocate. A role I thoroughly enjoy and which provides me a consistent 'learning ground'.
