Biography
I specialized in the ancient Near East for graduate school, but my interests in history and religion span the globe and all time periods. Of particular interest to me is comparative mythology, symbolism, and mysticism. I offer research, writing, and historical consultation services in the areas of history, archaeology, and religion, as well as computer aided design and Photoshop services.
Please visit my website for a full list of my services and previous publications.
