I was born in Manila and grew up, mostly, in Vancouver. I received my BA from UBC in 1995 and my PhD in early modern European history from Emory University in 2004.
I am interested in 17th- and 18th-century French history, particularly the reign of Louis XIV, the famous Sun King, and in military history. I am currently working on a book on 1709, a year of military, political, economic and ecological crises in France. I also produce a podcast, Great Battles in History.
I am willing to supervise graduate students in all areas of early modern French history and early modern military history.
