I have 30 years of experience, and specialize in the field of American history with specific knowledge in the areas of religion, conservatism and environment. I have published on such topics as conservative history, religious history and intellectual and educational history. I have spent a lot of time in recent years working as a public speaker to a wide variety of groups, civic, educational, alumni, religious, and professional. I was born and raised in England but have lived in the United States since 1978 and bring a comparative perspective to all issues.
