Historian. Writer. Storyteller. Photographer. Editor of the Texas Wendish Heritage Society Newsletter. Naturalized Texan since 2015.

Based in Giddings (between Austin and Houston on US 290) and always more at home in small towns.

Most weekends you can find me somewhere in rural Texas looking for "things what need photographin'" and good brisket and sausage.

I married my wife, Margie, in 2017, and our son, James, was born in 2019. I have two older children, Autumn and Christopher, who live with their mother and stepfather in Tennessee.

During the day, I work at KinderCare Learning Companies, where maintain their public-facing websites using Sitecore, an enterprise-class content management system (and a few other tools).
