I am a historian by training, specializing in military history, with strategic bombardment in the Second World War being my primary interest. I have a Bachelor of Arts from the University of South Carolina-Aiken (History/Studio Arts) and a Master of Arts from Norwich University in Northfield, Vermont (Military History). I began work for a Doctorate in 2011 at the University of Southern Mississippi (US History/War and Society/Cultural History) but resigned from the program the following year citing “personal differences.”
