Bio:
I was born in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont, graduated from Harwood Union High, and briefly attended the Berklee School of Music in Boston. I then worked as a musician and guitar teacher in New England, Colorado and Mississippi before graduating in 2000 from the University of Redlands in southern California. After receiving an MSLS in June of 2004 from The Catholic University of America in Washington, DC, I began working at Trinity University's Coates Library in San Antonio, Texas.
