Working for KKI Entertainment, the Goldenrod Showboat, and St. Charles Christmas Traditions, I have considerable experience writing promotional material for advertisements as well as working with the media to promote an event. In addition, I have also assisted other companies and professionals to promote their endeavors.

I have written press releases for events for KK Interactive, KKI Entertainment, the Goldenrod Showboat, and St. Charles Christmas Traditions.

As an historian and researcher, I have conducted a large number of recorded and unrecorded interviews of subjects ranging from Clyde Tombaugh, the discoverer of Pluto, to Roy Nakayama, a Japanese-American who was interned in California during WWII. I also conducted a series of interviews focused on the founders of New Mexico State University as well as a number of interviews conducted with local farmers who utilized German POW's as labor during WW II. Many of these interviews are on file at the New Mexico State University Archives in Las Cruces, NM.

I have extensive experience teaching undergratuate students in American History at the university level. I have taught at the University of Missouri at Columbia in Columbia, MO, William Woods University in Fulton, MO, and St. Louis Community College in St. Louis, MO. Contact me for a more information.
