In July, 2002 I became Executive Director of the Mississippi Valley Archaeology Center (MVAC) and Professor of Archaeology at the University of Wisconsin La-Crosse. My research interests are Midwest and Plains archaeology. I worked at the Office of the State Archaeologist of Iowa for many years; I served as an Associate Dean and Professor of Anthropology at Cal Poly Pomona; and I was an Associate Professor of Anthropology and Director of the Iowa State University Archaeological Laboratory from 1994-2002. My family has farmed in Iowa for five generations. While the house built by my great great grandfather at the Tiffany Homestead (presently the Forest Maxwell farm) is no longer standing, nearby is a small country church, Ashton Chapel, built by my great grandfather and his neighbors in northwest Jasper County, Iowa over 100 years ago. The opening image is a group photo from the Clear Creek country school near Ashton and the Tiffany Homestead. I have two daughters. Christine is a graduate of The University of Iowa with a B.A. in Education and Spanish. She is now teaching dual language 2nd grade at the West Liberty Elementary School, West Liberty, IA. Her husband, Randy Guerra, is teaching 7th and 8th grade Language Arts at Pleasant Valley Community School District, Bettendorf, IA. Christine and Randy have two children. Addison turned three this April. Lila is six this August and will start 1st grade at the West Liberty Elementary School. Here are recent pictures. Emma graduated with this summer with a Masters in Social Work from Sacramento State University . She is a Outreach and Program Director for Beyond Fear, Inc. in Columbia, CA. Emma is married to Randy Malm who is a financial advisor for Edward Jones, Inc. They live Sonora, CA with their two dogs, Scrappy and Paladin. My wife, Lauren, is Executive Director of the Midwest Sociological Society.
