I've been hanging out in cemeteries since I was 11 years old, and am grateful to my wife for tolerating it. My mother instilled in me a love of history, and a pride in where I come from. Originally from Fairfax County, Virginia, USA- I have discovered and visited the graves of my ancestors in nearly every one of the original 13 colonies, plus Tennessee and Canada. I hope to add what I can to the memorials of my kin that are already on Find A Grave, as well as add others that I find of interest.

I maintain 2 virtual cemeteries here - 1 for the people who I have discovered a personal blood relationship to myself, who in the parlance of some Tennessee cousins of mine I call "Kin," and another for all of the graves of notable (sometimes famous) people who I've paid pilgrimage to in the over 2 dozen nations around the Earth that I have visited. I like to see the places where my family has been, and where great events have transpired, and I want to learn as much as possible about my extended family's place in world history.

I'm open to taking on management of memorials for relatives of mine, no matter how distantly related, and I'm ready and willing to assist my fellow researchers if I am able. I hold a BA degree, with honors, in History and Religious Studies from George Mason University, where I earned a place in Alpha Chi, and I went on to earn an MA in Comparative World History from GMU. I have been a member of the American Historical Association, as well as local historical societies in Rockingham County, Virginia and Prince George's County, Maryland.

As a former employee of Arlington National Cemetery Tours, Inc - the official guided tour of Arlington National Cemetery - I worked on tour development, narration and training. In this capacity I worked closely with company leaders and US Army staff to research and script the official guided tour at ANC, while also helping to develop route plans and tour protocols - all while training the company's first cohort of tour narrators. I thereafter delivered the first guided tour of the cemetery for company executives, as well their first official guided tour for the public.

Feel free to reach out- I do reply to messages.
