A curious person with a box of papers
I'm not a historian. I'm a data analyst who started buying old documents at estate sales and couldn't stop pulling threads. What began as a side interest became a methodology: the same analytical rigor I use professionally, applied to the messy, incomplete records of the past.
My day job is in data and analytics. That background shapes everything about how I research — I verify sources, resolve conflicting information, cross-reference databases, and build defensible conclusions from fragmentary evidence.
I'm based in Portland, Oregon and serve clients nationwide. I have quick turnaround on research at the Oregon Historical Society and local archives. For everything else, I work with digitized collections, state and federal archives, and a deep bench of genealogical databases.
