I am a proud father of two kids: Jasper and Jade. 

Yoga and plant based nutrition are at the heart of my daily ritual and relationships.  

History is my passion.  Reading, writing, politics and culture.  

I am a musician (guitar, drums, tenor sax) and DJ deeply invested in the history of the Americas: roots, rock, rhythm.

I lead spin classes (indoor biking) several times a week.  Everyone welcome!  Best music in town!

I am Stanley Rutland Professor/History of the Americas at the University of Tulsa.
