About

I am a history professor and digital humanist. I am writing about how urban memorials and public art reveal the changing nature of cities and community identity in the twentieth century, through the lens of the Cleveland Cultural Gardens. I am also researching the history of air racing.

I live in Chagrin Falls (where I am told that the “unknown don’t even go”) with my partner Kristin, two children, Amelia & Eli, and two dogs, London Patches and Mojo.

I write (sometimes), hike, take photos, play with the kids, run, nap, cook, and enjoy coffee on the deck on crisp autumn mornings.

A few autumns ago, experimenting with audio editing software, I asked Amelia, “what did you have for lunch today?” I asked Eli to tell me about his life; I will re-do the audio in coming days so you can hear our surprising and brief discussion.
