Personal Info and Other Projects

I specialize in early modern military history, with a particular focus on colonial America, Native Americans, and the British empire.  My primary ongoing research project, entitled "Barbarians and Brothers" investigates wartime violence in intra-societal and inter-cultural wars in the British Isles and North America between 1500 and 1865.  I am also working on the nature of English/British military relationships with indigenous peoples in Ireland and North America. 

Along the way I have become involved in survey archaeology in Greece and Albania, as well as an excavation in Hungary, and I continue to work and publish in that field. Some relevant links are provided below.  At the moment I am a co-director for a project in the mountains of northern Albania (the Shala Valley Project, SVP).  The historical component of that project examines how the tribal peoples of those mountains maintained their autonomy from the Ottoman empire while also providing some military service to the empire.

I was an officer in the U.S. Army (combat engineer) and served in Germany, Virginia and in the Gulf War. When not working or teaching I am a blacksmith and a whitewater kayaker.
