This site remains under construction, but it can serve as a guide to knowing a bit about me and my work.

Brief Biography

Since the fall of 2008, I am an assistant professor of History in the Division of History, Politics and International Studies at Oglethorpe University. My concentrations are European diplomatic and Russian histories, and I also teach broader modern European history courses.

I earned my PhD from the History Department at Duke University in 2000, where I also earned a MA in 1993. In 1994 I earned a MSc from the London School of Economics through the Department of International History. I finished my BA in Slavic Studies at the University of Pennsylvania in 1991.

Friends and family are up to interesting things. Visit these links for information as it become available:

• We have in the past fostered dogs and done other service for Schnauzer Rescue of the Carolinas, through whom we've adopted all three of our schnauzers. If you're thinking of bringing one of these great dogs into your life, avoid the puppy mills and adopt from a rescue group. If you're not in the Carolinas, Petfinder.com can help you link up with a rescue group in your area.
• My sister Ilana has started playing Women's Professional Football for the Binghamton Lady Cats. They had a full season of games in the northeast starting 4/18.
