Daniel E. Long

I am a writer, historian, and retired dentist. I grew up in northeast Colorado (think corn and wheat fields), went to college at Brigham Young University (Rise and Shout!), dental school at Georgetown University (Hoya Saxa!), and received my master of arts in military history, World War II, from American Military University (American Public University System). My wife is Cara and I have eight wonderful children (Daniel II, Erin, Michael, Rachel, Trevor, Amylynn, Kenneth, and Xander), one faux daughter (Rikki), and fourteen grandchildren. I am a life-long nerd and love Star Trek, Marvel Comics, Colorado Rockies baseball, and tropical fish, and have a warped sense of humor that apparently only I appreciate (says my family). Additionally, I am a staunch conservative. Originally from the northeast corner of Colorado (think corn and wheat fields), I spent two years in Spain and currently call Alaska home, on the beautiful Kenai peninsula. I have loved military history in general, and World War II history specifically, all my life, so once I couldn't play dentist anymore, it was only natural that I go into history and writing. I hope you find my tastes interesting.
