The Story is Personal
We are in this together as partners, merging vision with action! I will help you discover a past you never knew existed. I have found blacksmiths, carpenters, clockmakers, cowboys, gunsmiths, house wrights, innkeepers, liverymen, merchants, physicians, planters, preachers, scholars, servants, soldiers, silversmiths, weavers, wheelwrights, the good, the bad, and the ugly. I’ve tracked them across oceans and continents, where they have fought to prevail against the enemy soldiers, forces of nature, hostile natives, and an unforgiving frontier. I am passionate about the work I do.

Since I was a young boy, I always found it fascinating to hear stories about my ancestors. I would listen to my grandparents and great uncles and aunts tell stories of the past. I inherited a love for genealogy ancestry from my mother, who began researching our family's history after retiring in the late 1980s. In the early 1990s, I took up where my mom left off in her research. Due to the traveling nature of my career, I was able to fill in more of the family tree through letter writing, phone calls, and visits to libraries, historical societies, and family members long before the internet came along. Today these research techniques are still relevant, but digital resources have greatly enhanced the Genealogist's tools. I am fortunate to have pursued genealogy at an earlier age when the story-holders could still explain their history. Since then, many have passed away, and their stories are lost or diminished, of fact. Let Dancestors help you get the real stories now!
I have a certificate in genealogy ancestry from the International Association of Professions Career College and have researched and published many family legacies in the last two years. My wife, Andrea, is an integral part of the process as she is not so genealogy-driven as she is passionate about the story. She serves as a great advocate for the non-genealogist wanting to peruse and absorb their family history without getting caught up in convention and minutia.
