My love of storytelling began with my very first tour as I lead groups through a historic mansion in Danby, CT. I felt like I was transported back in time - awaiting the return of the town’s seafaring menfolk while looking out from the “widow’s walk” on the mansion's top floor.
Later, as a Museum Educator with the New York State Museum, I enjoyed telling tales and watching the excitement of school children as they encountered Dinosaurs Alive!, life in the Adirondack mountains, and the original set of Sesame Street.
Next, I logged many miles as the Tour Director of the Hudson Mohawk Industrial Gateway in Troy, NY creating and conducting tours of Architectural Ironworks, Tiffany Windows of Troy, and Uncle Sam's burial site.

My first historic presentation at age 14 - with older brother, Mike.
Moving west, I developed the education program for the Columbia River Exhibition of History, Science and Technology (the CREHST Museum ) in Richland, WA.
Currently, I am a Docent for the
Hanford B Reactor and the Pre-Manhattan Project Historical Site, plus a Columbia River cruise ship
Step-On/Step-Off Guide, and a traveling presenter of historically based lectures in a variety of venues.
I can’t wait to share my stories with you!
