WELCOME!

With over thirty years of professional historical research and archival experience, I work with individuals, institutions, foundations, and businesses to help them achieve their goals of preserving their history and legacy.

My experience can guide your history project from start to finish. I organize and develop new archives and conduct research in existing collections. I create digital content, write articles and books, and give presentations, and teach classes.

 

What I am working on right now…

• Research and script editing for a long-overdue film project, a four-part documentary on James J. Hill: The Empire Builder (2023 release)
• Consulting and research for the restoration of the A18, James J. Hill’s private rail car, a project led by the Minnesota Transportation Museum 
• Biography of Mary T. Hill in her own words, using her personal writings (2023)
• Historical memoir on the early Minnesota railroad town, Clontarf (ongoing)

Please take a look at the site. Examples of my research and writing can be found on the Publications page. Visit the Contact page or send me an email.
