Fervent curiosity and a photographic memory have helped me develop quality skills in the field of genealogy research and historical writing. 


As a natural archivist my entire life, I routinely curate facts and events with keepsakes and stories of family and friends and I have a great appreciation for their joy when memories from my collection are reflected back to them.


For two decades I directed the operations for a premier art and antique gallery in Boston. While there, I was responsible for all marketing areas from cataloging to photography to web design. In addition to sales our services included prop styling, set design and auction events.


Though my relationship with genealogy began with interest in my own family, I researched and wrote numerous descriptions and biographical narratives to market antiques starting with business history research, examining the backgrounds of pioneers, developers and owners to historical market research pertaining to construction and economic importance of the products.
