Why don't you tell everybody a little bit about yourself?

Well, I was born and raised in Portland, Oregon. I come from my father was working

class and then middle class. My mother was both my parents were well educated.

From a very early age, I had a big interest in history.

This was encouraged a lot by my father for a number of reasons.

And that's what I studied in college

and then in university.

I went to graduate school at Indiana University.

I also studied in Munich for two semesters. I lived in Germany for two and a half years but I've

travelled pretty extensively over Europe. I've had a long interest in history that was my it's my passion I regard myself as a pretty

curious person but it was when I was 18, 19, 20 that I began to realize that the narrative that we hear about,

especially modern history, but history in general, is often not very accurate or

certainly slanted.

I think I began to sense this even before that.
