Born and raised in Michigan, I take great pride in both my family history research and my ongoing exploration of Silverwood, Michigan — a town I've proudly called home for over 22 years. For the past 5 years, I've dedicated myself to uncovering and preserving the remarkable history of Silverwood and its people.

In 2025, I began cleaning headstones at West Burlington Cemetery as part of my research efforts. What started as a personal project has grown into a mission —

If you would like me to clean your Ancestors stone, please do not hesitate to reach out

My interest in headstone restoration and documentation has expanded to cemeteries throughout the state. I focus on documenting, photographing with GPS coordinates, and cleaning stones that are heavily covered in lichen, dirt, or moss — regardless of age, status, or recognition. I do not limit my efforts to veterans, children, or public figures; every individual deserves to be remembered and honored.

My hope is that this work makes a meaningful difference — whether it's for family members who are unable to maintain the graves of loved ones, for the souls themselves, or for distant visitors discovering long-lost family connections. I take pride in restoring these markers so that anyone visiting a cemetery can connect with the rich history of the town and its people. Sometimes, a single clean headstone can help piece together an entire family story
