About Me

---

I am a knowledgeable and lively professional guide.  A DC resident for 40 years, I love living in the city and sharing my enthusiasm with others. I enjoy working with all ages and sizes of groups. 

In addition to popular and historic sites, I specialize in unique and overlooked monuments and buildings. I also emphasize the history of the Federal City (how through compromise Washington, DC got to be where and what it is).

My other particular interests include the Washington theater scene, arts and professional sports.Licensed District of Columbia Tour GuideBoard Member, The Guild of Professional Tour Guides of Washington, DC (Education Committee Co-Chair)  Board Member, National Federation of Tourist Guide Associations Certified National Cathedral GuideUnited States Capitol Visitors Center Volunteer, United States Capitol Historical Society Volunteer Octagon House trained docent.
