I discovered my passion for genealogy and history over twenty years ago while researching my own family tree. I became fascinated with other people's ancestry and found myself creating lineages for friends and diving deep into new cultures and possibilities. By exploring the past I can imagine the lives our ancestors once lived and the hardships they may have endured and overcome; this drives me to share my experience with others. Through education, technology, and experience I honed my research and dedicated my practice to uphold the ethics and standards of a thorough researcher so we may imagine the truth of our ancestor's lives.
