I’m a founding partner of Bright Archives, an independent archival production house. We help people and organizations tap into one of their strongest assets—their story. We understand that the value of archives is often beneath the surface, so we provide a unique combination of professional archival services and creative media solutions to bring those stories to life.

Previously, I served on the faculty at Carnegie Mellon University, where I was the founding Director of the Oral History Program, Lead Archivist for the Robotics Project, and Archivist in the University Archives. I specialize in complex histories and materials, with my work exploring diverse topics such as experimental film, punk culture, robotics, computer science, artificial intelligence, architecture, higher education, and folklore.

I have an MA in Public History from Duquesne University, and I’m a Certified Archivist (CA) and Digital Archives Specialist (DAS). I’m also an active member of the Society of American Archivists and the Oral History Association, where I’m chair of the Membership Committee.
