Rooted in Research. Driven by Discovery.
Uncovering your family history is a massive undertaking. While online databases are a start, the crucial evidence that breaks a brick wall is often locked away in a county basement, parish registry, or specialized library. For many, knowing where to look and who to ask is the hardest part of the journey.
​
I founded Collaborative Genealogy Solutions on a simple premise: I collaborate with the custodians of history so you don't have to.
​
I leverage my professional standing to coordinate with a vast network of industry resources—from small-town court clerks to archivists in major repositories. I am a liaison between you and these professionals, accessing records that are often difficult and time-consuming to find.
​
As a member of the Association of Professional Genealogists, I bring a standard of evidentiary rigor to every project. Whether you are seeking to join a lineage society or simply want a verified family tree, I treat your history with the precision and respect it deserves.

Based in St. Paul with a Bachelor of Arts in French Literature, I specialize in the Great Lakes region and military history and as a U.S. Army veteran, I bring a personal understanding to service records. I leverage my academic background to translate French documents, decipher complex historical handwriting, and can even assist in assembling lineage society applications.
