About

I'm a Minnesota-based freelance writer specializing in history. I've chronicled the histories of a wide variety of companies (Exact Sciences, the Pohlad Companies, Polaris Industries, and more) and institutions (the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra, the Minneapolis Grain Exchange, Gustavus Adolphus College, and more). My titles aimed at general audiences include Minnesota in the ’70s; Twin Cities Picture Show; Minnesota Goes to War; Twin Cities Album; and the state history textbook, Northern Lights.  I'm a two-time winner of the Minnesota Book Award.
