Bio: I speak 50+ times a year to civic groups, churches, schools, and other organizations. I’ve written 20 or so books, mostly about presidents and/or faith. I teach history online for Liberty University and Walters State. I have appeared in commercials and movies and on TV as an actor. Spouse: Jill Holder is my wife and best friend. It is cool how much our work lives overlap. Most of my acting has been with her and usually because of her. She wrote a book with me. We’ve taught classes together. It’s been a blessing. Best job ever: I really liked being a dean and before that an assistant dean at Walters State. I only left it so I would have more time for writing, public speaking, and potential church work Worst job ever: I did a temp job in an aluminum recycling plant. It was hot, grueling, and mildly dangerous. My only co-worker spoke maybe forty words the entire (single) day I worked there. Because he mumbled so badly, I only understood half of what he said, and probably 70% of that was curse words. I’m pretty sure most of the swearing was directed at me. My 6 great loves: Jesus, my family, early presidents, greeting cards with apes on them, Japanese food, and martial arts. I am not a complicated man.
