It’s simple. This is my passion. I’ve been a dedicated tour guide (at least part-time) for over 25 years.

I started this adventure because I believe history shouldn’t be locked away in textbooks or confined to the black-and-white pictures you find in thrift stores. It should be felt, lived, and experienced with the same vibrance and energy as the world we walk through today.

History is storytelling. It’s messy, unpredictable, and full of the same emotional life we experience today. I want these stories, places and spots to be accessible by everyone, even those folks who may not think they want to learn. There’s something for everyone, and while I may not have this whole space tied down just yet, I’m excited to curate a space and community to do just that.

Forget memorizing dates because we’re here to explore the human side of history; the drama, the triumphs, and the wild moments that shaped the world we know.

The Hot Mess Historian is here to ignite curiosity and show everyone that history isn’t just something we study…it’s something we experience.

So, whether you're a history lover or just curious, let’s dive in together. Because history is for everyone… and trust me, it's a lot more fun when it’s a little messy and real.
