I was born in Dallas, Texas but grew up abroad. I received his B.A. from Calvin University in sunny Grand Rapids, Michigan and a M.A. and PhD from the University of Texas at Arlington. My teaching style emphasizes the interconnectedness of people, places and events, challenging students to think more globally about history. My research interests are in Modern Latin America in the early twentieth century, specifically on the development and popularization of sport as a tool of identity creation and state centralization. My dissertation was on how politicians and enthusiasts used Colombian soccer to foster nationalism and state cohesion.
