"and I am out with lanterns, looking for myself." - Emily Dickinson, Letters of Emily Dickinson

Born & raised in Los Angeles, I became a "Southerner by choice" in 2009 after 12 years as an Extra's Casting Director, providing talent for film & television shows like "3rd Rock From the Sun", "Beverly Hills, 90210", "Freaks and Geeks", "Joe Dirt" & "House on Haunted Hill".

 

After several years in Greenville, S.C. working in the funeral industry, I am now a full-time genealogist specializing in 19th century crime and accidents as well as American cemetery research. My first book, Wicked Greenville, an anthology of true crime stories is now available wherever books are sold! I am currently in production on the documentary Going Fine Since 1889: The Magical Armstrongs.

I enjoy the odd and unusual stories I uncover in my research and I can't wait to help you uncover yours!
