Thank you for visiting my WikiTree profile page! I've been doing genealogy since 2005 and love every minute of it! I'm quite passionate about it and enjoy working on my tree, and others. I have more than 20 years of professional expertise in information science, research, and information organization.
I volunteer extensively in the genealogy community with current leadership roles in the Afro-American Historical & Genealogical Society (National Treasurer and AAHGS Nashville Chapter President) and the USGenWeb Project (National Representative-at-Large). I regularly contribute to FamilySearch Family Tree, Find-A-Grave, and BillionGraves.
I also have an active Facebook community, Academy of Legacy Leaders Facebook, through which I facilitate education and inspiration for family history. I also have a genealogy blog.
