I was born in Iowa and live in St. Paul, Minnesota. I have a lifelong love of history and have been a professional genealogist since 2017.​

​

I am a member of the Association of Professional Genealogists and also serve as their Booth Coordinator for in-person and virtual genealogy events. 

​

I teach many online webinars coordinated through my own site and through Community Ed programs.

​

I have a very broad knowledge base for many times, places and languages. I have a Russian Language degree and adore working with any Slavic or Scandinavian records.

​

I love attending genealogy conferences and institute courses and always wish there were more hours in a day.
