I got my BA in History even though I haven't used it for employment, I have pursued my studies more for enjoyment. While I work in tech I still spend time researching and studying history, concentrating in the Colonial American period and Asian cultures.

I pursue an interest in other topics as they come up, the more you learn the more you want to know is my general theme of topics. As a historian I try to see both sides of the question, in general History is written by the winners so one often needs to look deeper into the subject to get a balanced view. Much of what I have learned growing up has already changed which goes to prove the axiom - nothing is constant but change.
