I am retired from a day job and now enjoy genealogy and local history writing full time. I've been doing genealogy for about 35 years and have completed the genealogy certification program in American Records at the National Institute for Genealogical Studies. My monthly blog on northwest Florida history is at www.nwfloridahistory.com. I have published a book on the 1st Florida Union Cavalry from the Civil War and am finishing up a second book on the history of Yellow River Baptist Church in northwest Florida. In my spare time I am an amateur photographer, certified permaculturalist, and human to my two cats.
