Here I have collected a small sampling of the projects and papers I've done in school over the years. I've focused mostly on various themes within the broad rubric of "American culture." Projects such as "Conflicts in Cosmopolitanism" and "It's the Booze Talkin'" investigate some deep-seeded historical issues involved in our polyglot American society. Other projects like "Viewing America's Pastime" and "More than Malt, Hops, Water and Yeast" look at aspects of American leisure in the latter half of the twentieth century.

Initially created as I moved towards completion of my Master's Degree, I've made these projects available to show how some of the dynamic aspects of the Web can enhance and punctuate content more than pure text. I hope that my projects, like the rest of the material at xroads.virginia.edu, reinforce the idea that the Web is a valuable tool for creating widely accessible, informative, and educational content.

Since graduate school, I've spent my career developing and editing content for a variety of candidates for political office and political causes. This experience has allowed me a public sphere in which I can promote and advocate for political causes through email campaigns and focused site content.

The work I currently do, and have done in the past, has prepared me to write, edit, manage and develop the web as a primary medium for informational, educational and promotional content and allowed me to broaden my skills as I continute to grow and learn.

Please enjoy.
