About Us

I study the past to help clients understand where they’ve been and where they’re headed. As a qualified professional historian (36 CFR Part 61) with over 25 years of experience in historical research and writing, I’ve helped clients uncover their history, advocate for meaningful preservation, and connect people with places important to them. I believe in blending historic integrity and heritage stewardship with environmental awareness.

I’m drawn to research that sheds light on overlooked stories or uncovers new angles on familiar topics because that’s where connection and curiosity thrive, adding layers to our understanding of a place or moment in time. I’ve published articles, lectured on a variety of historical topics, curated private and public collections, and collaborated with cultural institutions across Michigan.

At ARC, I lead preservation and research projects that honor cultural heritage and elevate its role in contemporary planning and development. I dig deep into the past — not just for facts, but for the stories that reveal who we are, where we come from, and what’s worth preserving for the future. I’m also a community advocate who supports inclusive, community-driven preservation of historical sites that remind us why place matters. History should be compelling, accessible, and actionable. 

At ARC, we’re here to help you tell the stories that deserve to be told with care, clarity, and purpose.
