Me!

Howdy folks!  I'm R.C. Remington.  I grew up in the bustling metropolis of Dayton, Nevada and am a bit of a country boy.  I love history.  I love to read about Ancient Egyptian religion, samurai, American Presidents, homesteading, and anything to do with our world's past.  I often dream of sailing the seas as a buccaneer or riding into an old western town as a Marshall.  I find it hard to believe that so many people find history boring.  I hope to bring the excitement I feel for history to students of that persuasion.  I look forward to learning how to tap into technology to get rid of history's "boring" stigma among students.  All that aside, I love my wife, Stephanie, as well as sports, video games, dogs, good food, and working out.
