I dabbled in genealogy while I was still in high school, but I have been working on my genealogy in earnest (albeit in fits and starts) since around 1990, when my grandfather passed away and I inherited his research.  My approach to my research has evolved exponentially since those days (read: I actually appear to know what I'm doing now), and I am currently enrolled in ProGen 24.

I graduated Magna Cum Laude from Chattanooga State Community College with an AAS in Paralegal Studies in 2011.  I work full-time in a small law firm in Chattanooga, Tennessee.  But my true passion is writing and research.  I am a regular contributor to the Chattanooga Delta Genealogy Society's blog Off-Shoots and am the author of the bi-monthly column Getting Started appearing in the In-Depth Genealogist's digital magazine Going In-Depth.
