Presentation of research-backed scholarly information continually updated with the latest developments from the scholarly historical community - our performer has written about 18th century topics, including providing original research confirming priorly unknown connections between historical figures in the 18th century. This level of research and presentation is our standard, providing our clients with not just amazing entertainment but also with world class presentations of accurate, indepth, and complete information all while making it fun for all.

Formal or informal presentations available - seated dinner/corporate event speeches, historical field trip/group presentations, meet and greet style events, or even having a laid back addition to your party who happens to have walked straight out of the 18th century, let us know what you want and we can cater specifically to your desires.

Head-to-toe authentic period attire to match any events - military, common civilian, or gentry class outfits available, all custom made in the US from proper materials and in proper colors using confirmed historic designs.

Ability to convey meaning through education - as an experienced interpreter we can make concepts or items easily understood by putting it into simple language and finding a way to make it engaging with any audience.
