I write about both the technical and human aspects of international security, conflict, history and aviation, with over 500 articles and counting published on subjects ranging from modern Chinese jet fighters to Russian World War II films and human rights abuses in Nigeria. I've served as a university instructor with the Peace Corps in China, received my master’s degree at Georgetown University, and worked as a teacher and editor in France. I strive to explore diverse perspectives beyond those most we’re most familiar with; provide informed and balanced analysis, not just repeat rote facts; and combine background context with hard-to-find detail so that both general and expert readers can find something to value in my articles.
