​I am employed by the people of Ohio and serve the public trust as an assistant professor who specializes in post-1870s America within the Ohio State University's Department of Educational Studies' philosophy and history of education program with an affiliate membership within the university's Department of History. In addition to my work in educational history and philosophy, I have interests in the histories of Asian and African America, childhood, consumerism, technology, masculinity, photography, and foodways. I also research private and "small" decentered cultures and social military histories. I am currently working on a project to better understand the introduction of computers into the American K-12 classroom. 

In Spring 2019, I will offer an online course in the history of educational administration in the United States.
