Biography
Libraries have always held a special place in my heart. Growing up in small-town Nebraska, the local library was my gateway to other worlds and places. This time spent at the library instilled a love of learning and a desire to share that love with others. My infatuation with these institutions was strengthened by my time here, at Hillsdale, as a student. Studying history, amongst other subjects, provided me ample opportunity to become acquainted with the library not just as a place to find books, but as a repository of the collected wisdom and research of previous and current scholars.
Eventually, this led me to my current position as a librarian. While I no longer spend much time amongst stacks of books (at least not professionally), my role as technical services librarian means that I am the caretaker of much of that research which I found so fascinating while I was a student. It is my hope that I can play at least a small part in the preservation and dissemination of knowledge, and perhaps even inspire some current students to pursue this noble profession.
