Hist 148--US History III (1900 to Present)

About Me

bibliophilist: Superior, CO, United States; I am originally from Las Vegas, NV. One of the few natives to that city that you will ever know. It was actually a fun place to grow up. In many ways just like any other place, except for that fact that you are always aware of being in Las Vegas: slot machines in grocery stores, billboards along the freeway advertising the latest show or club, old hotel/casinos being imploded to make room for new manifestations, and of course The Strip (many buildings of which are visible from the college campus I attended). I received a BA in European history (2000) and an MA in Soviet Foreign Policy (2004), both from UNLV. I have taught for HCC since Fall 2006. In August 2009 I started a Ph.D program at the University of Colorado at Boulder. The goal is to become a university professor. My field of interest is American foreign policy of the World War I era. I enjoy living in CO because the weather reminds me a lot of where I grew up--although CO gets much colder and has more snow (and oh yeah, no casinos). My wife, who is a Kirkland,WA native, misses the rain and overcast skies. But she is getting used to all the sunshine and loves the snow.
