About Me

ABOUT ME

I grew up at the knee of a professional indexer, which is the only reason I knew about indexing as a profession when looking for a “real job” after 20+ years in uniform as an Air National Guard officer. Though I have been gradually learning to index for several years, I completed the respected USC Berkeley Extension course “Indexing: Theory and Application” before launching Harbor Indexing in 2022.

I specialize in back-of-the-book indexes for scholarly and trade books with a particular soft spot for social history, military history, family histories, and the social sciences. I hold a Master of Arts degree in American History and am also a professional genealogist focused on family history research in the Pacific Northwest, Upper South, and parts of the Midwest. As such, I understand the value of bringing history to life and making it accessible for researchers and historians.
