After working for several years as Senior Geologist for the Atlantic-Richfield Company, I decided on a career change to nautical archaeology and maritime history. I have worked extensively in archives and libraries in Spain, as well as Great Britain and Denmark. After retiring for several years, I became bored. I completed a Master’s Degree of Library Science with a focus on Archive Studies University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee. I worked for two years as a volunteer archivist at the National Naval Aviation Museum, both taking a position as archivist and librarian for the Abraham Lincoln Library and Museum at the Lincoln Memorial University. After working there for five years, I worked one year at the National Corvette Museum. I am currently working at the Texas A&M University Archives.
Maritime trade and technology have been a driving force in globalization since the High Middle Ages and my research interests encompass the development of maritime technology, and the social and economic forces that drive it. I have been developing this website for those interested in maritime topics and history.
