Philadelphia historian and owner of a private collection of 2,700 books on the city
About
Tours in:

I am a historian and writer about Philadelphia, as well as a tour guide for the city, and have collected what is likely the largest private collection of books about the City of Brotherly Love: about 2700 titles, new and old. I'm also a founding/certified member of the Association of Philadelphia Tour Guides and have lived at Pier 3 Condominium at Penn’s Landing since 1997, where and when my fascination with Philadelphia’s waterfront district began. I regularly give walking tours and presentations on this and other unique yet unappreciated parts of the city for various groups. I'm a graduate of La Salle University (1986) and Temple University School of Law (1993) and was once an officer in the U.S. Army Field Artillery.
