    focus on American political history (19th & 20th century) - master's thesis on Daniel Webster and the Rise of American Nationalism (1800-1850).

    Activities and Societies: ASMU student government, various political campaigns, intramural floor hockey & indoor soccer, student newspaper guest columnist

    At Marquette as an undergraduate, my time was spent in the normal assortment of clubs, activities, and volunteer projects. Intramural floor hockey and soccer on Saturday mornings, student government, youth leadership development, becoming a Green Bay Packer fan (pre-Brett Favre era) and road trips to friends' homes around the upper Midwest were among my more enjoyable activities. I grew up at Marquette and had my eyes opened to what the world really had to offer.
