About Me	I am a Senior Education Fellow at the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History. Previously, I taught high school history and special education in New Jersey for 35 years. When I retired from teaching in 2007, I took a position as a Department of the Army civilian with the 353 Civil Affairs Command (the same unit from which I retired as a colonel in 2003). During my teaching career, I was a member of a teaching cohort at Rutgers University which incorporated the history of the Holocaust into the broader framework of the history of genocide. In addition, I served as the Project Director for a Teaching American History Grant (2006-2009). I was also the New Jersey liaison for the Capitol Forum program sponsored by Brown University (2005-2008). My professional studies have produced curriculum projects to enhance history department offerings for both mainstream and special needs students. I was the recipient of a grant from the Anti-Defamation League to develop curriculum related to immigration and ethnicity in US history. I also was the project director of an interdisciplinary history project funded by the National Humanities Faculty. As a military planner in the US Army Civil Affairs Corps, I was involved in several major projects including a public diplomacy initiative with EMERCOM (the Russian FEMA),Operation Enduring Freedom-Trans Sahara(a Department of State-led interagency initiative to assist traditionally moderate Muslim governments and populations in the Trans-Sahara region to combat the spread of extremist ideology and terrorism in the region) and Operation Iraqi Freedom (actually the 4th ID invasion through Turkey which did not take place) Moreover, I was part of a team which revised the CIMIC curriculum for the NATO School in Oberammergau, Germany .I served as a Civil Affairs planner for both USEUCOM and USAFRICOM in Stuttgart, Germany and USNAVEUR in London, UK. In the fall of 2009, I joined the staff of Gilder Lehrman as an Senior Education Fellow. I have been married for 41 years and has 3 sons. I have a BA from Seton Hall University (1969) and an MA (1970) MAT (1972) from the University of Chicago.I also studied at the National Defense University, Naval War College, the African Center for Strategic Studies, the Naval Post...(read more)
