I wrote online content for Super Hero Beach and Super Hero Hive from 2014 to 2017. *Unfortunately, the site was taken down after both locations were taken over by Coliseum of Comics in 2018.
I first started my history blog, “Epik Fails of History” (EpikFails.com) back on July 13th, 2012, which eventually led to the “Epik Fails of History” podcast (now on Spotify!), and the “Epic Fails” middle-grade book series that I co-wrote with Ben Thompson!
