Who am I

I am originally from the Quad City area of Iowa and Illinois. I currently live in Maryland near Washington, DC. I have a bachelor’s degree in philosophy and an advanced degree in theology.

Interests

Given my academic background, my interests include the historical, theological and liturgical aspects of the Catholic Church, as well as other Christian denominations. I also have an interest in art and architecture, especially as they are applied to Christian worship. Other interests include American History, especially the Civil War, history of Iowa, 19th and early 20th century European immigration, and the two world wars.

Any articles that I write or edit are basically those that cover these interests.

Wiki Loves Monuments 2016 in the United States resulted in over 1,700 individuals contributing over 11,000 photos of cultural and historic sites throughout the country. This barnstar is awarded to you as a thank you for your help with categorizing and cleaning up the countless number of photos that came in - your work is highly appreciated and invaluable towards the success of the event.
