From History to Human Potential:

Stories, Perspectives, and Growth for Curious Minds

Being a professional historian has led me down unexpected paths and into unlikely places—culminating in my work as a fiction author, poet, podcast host, and Certified Human Potential Coach.

History has been my passport to the world: guiding me to dusty archives, documents from the world wars, and conversations with those who lived them. It’s deepened my understanding of the past, present, and, most surprisingly, myself.

My own personal journey—full of growth, change, and rebuilding—has given me gifts beyond measure: resilience, perspective, and a profound curiosity about the human condition. Whether writing, coaching, or podcasting, I aim to make everything I share engaging, accessible, and meaningful.

I’ve come to believe that looking at life through multiple “perspectacles” illuminates the myths, realities, and possibilities within us. Four universal forces shape our individual histories and our Nows:

possibility, choice, consequences, and change.

So, whether you’re joining me through a story, a conversation, or a coaching journey, I invite you to explore these forces, see where they lead you, and discover the unexpected paths they may reveal. After all, history—like life itself—is anything but predictable.
