In 1984 I entered The University of
Toledo where I remained uncertain about what to major in for several
years. I eventually declared majors in engineering and business prior to
settling on the study of history. History had always fascinated me,
especially ancient history.
In 1986 I took a full-time job with a
local savings and loan and was unable to continue my studies for several
years. I worked in the banking industry until the end
of 1989 when I returned to finish my bachelor's degree in history. After
graduating in March of 1992 I spent another year working in the banking
industry. In 1993 I applied for and was accepted into the master's program
at The University of Toledo. I finished this degree in August of
1996 and started my Ph.D. work in the fall of 1996.
While doing my master's degree I began working for The University of
Toledo's IT department. In 1997 I became a Software Specialist
assigned to various departments in the College of Arts and Sciences. For
the past twelve years I have been pursuing my Ph.D. in history while
working for various companies in the IT field, and teaching history. I
finally completed my Ph.D. in early modern European history in December
of 2008.
