I’m the author of This Vast Enterprise: A New History of Lewis & Clark. I’ve also written for The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal and been interviewed on PBS NewsHour and NPR. My first book was Author in Chief, and you can find some of my favorite journalism stories here.
I grew up near Dillsboro, Indiana, and graduated from the University of Southern Indiana in 2007. I spent six years in Connecticut, working on a PhD at Yale University that I never quite completed. In 2013, I moved back to Indiana with my wife, who works in publishing; we live in Bloomington with our two children. Sometimes, I teach sportswriting at Indiana University.
You can find me posting about books, bookstores, and history on Twitter, Instagram, and Goodreads. If you want to get in touch, email me here.
If you have a media request, email my wonderful publicist, Anne Tate Pearce.
Katy Lengacher did the above headshot — if you live in central Indiana, you won’t find a better photographer!
