my story

If you want to see more recent works, browse my Portfolio.

My passion for history runs through all of my endeavors. After years of teaching American Indian History at Universities I am retired and spend my time finding beautiful things in the American West. I spend time nurturing and sharing the antique culture of the American Indian tradition and capturing the images of the present-day Rocky Mountains.

Although retired from teaching I continue to be actively engaged in conducting historical research for authentication of documents and objects and for educational websites as well as professional presentations and articles.

 I received degrees from Rice University (BA), Appalachian State University (MA) and University of Wyoming (PhD). He taught history at University of Alaska Anchorage, Dartmouth College and Idaho State University.

I make my home  in a log house in the Flathead Valley of Montana with my wife of 40 years and our dog.
