I'm a history student in the Ph.D. program at Wayne State University in Detroit.
I grew up in a city called Ingolstadt. (Click on the icon below to see some pictures) My alma mater, the Universitaet Eichstaett (Click on the other icon below to see some pictures), is situated in a lovely town right in the heart of Bavaria. It's definitely worth a visit.
After having spent one academic year at Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana in 1995/96 I decided to go back and get my Ph.D. in the U.S. That's how I came to Detroit where I'm now concentrating on immigration history, modern American history, early American history, and archival administration.
