About meHistory major from Brown University. Had opportunity to live overseas in Japan, France, Canada and the UK. These experiences have shaped my international outlook on work and life. I work in the financial services industry.
Outside of reading, I enjoy tennis, skiing and running. I also like camping and hiking. Anything to be in the outdoors.
For the past 12 years I've been involved with the Anne SK Brown Military Collection at Brown University as a Trustee of the Collection. In 2007 I authored a book on one of the German artist's in the Collection.
About my libraryPrimary focus in non-fiction with a concentration in history. Having lived in the UK for four years, I've developed a strong interest in British history.
The Adventure and Travel tags in my library are fun niche topics that I enjoy.

Happy holidays, it's nice to hear from you. The 15th is actually my next volunteer day at the Newseum and your book presentation that evening would make for a good outing afterwards. Please do let me know the exact time. Army and Navy club is on Farragut Square, I believe?

Thank you for the generous offer of the guided tour by the curator!! I'll definitely let you know when I'm able to visit the Collection.
Kind regards,

I love your book! It's a great collection of his German uniform prints and shown at a perfect size. I first learned about Herbert Knotel from the four volume Napoleonic Uniforms set with the text by Elting. Since then, I've been able to pick up his Deutsche Uniformen cigarette albums and about 400 of his father's Uniformenkunde plates. I have heard of the Anne S.K. Brown collection and would love to visit it someday, if possible. Needless to say, I envy you your job!! I live in Orange County, and would love to take you up on your offer next time you are in the L.A. area. Thank you for your note! Steve
