I am an independent scholar based in Wilmington, North Carolina, USA. I work in Atlantic World history, maritime history, and the history of technology. So far, my scholarship has focused on merchant ship technology in the 17th and 18th centuries, especially in the British Atlantic. With sailing and diving experience and enthusiasm in hand, I first studied maritime history and nautical archaeology at East Carolina University (M.A. 1998), where I wrote my thesis on the German bark Peking. I worked in the museum and historic site world, taught history as an adjunct for ten years, restored and outfitted a 1977 Pearson 28 sloop, and published several magazine articles about that and other cruising sailboats. I began doctoral study in maritime history in 2012 and received my PhD with distinction from Memorial University of Newfoundland in May 2017.

My first book, The Merchant Ship in the British Atlantic: Continuity and Innovation in a Key Technology, was published by Brill in April 2020. My second,A Boston Schooner in the Royal Navy, 1768–1772: Commerce and Conflict in Mar
