A Little About Me
I am a Research Biochemist retired from the University of Texas. I am a fifth generation
member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I became interested in modern
Book of Mormon geography when Hauck fist published his book on Book of Mormon
geography and have since read many of the books published by Latter Day Saints. After
reading Clarks review of Hauck's book I took his suggestion to heart and have since searched
and studied the Book of Mormon to find out what it tells us about the geography of the Lands of
the Book of Mormon. In addition, I have access to the Benson Latin American Collection which
contains one of the largest collections of information about Mesoamerica and precolumbian
cultures.
