Introduction

My name is Kurt Knoerl. I am in my first semester in the PhD program. I work for the US House of Representatives in the data communications group. I received my MA from East Carolina University in Maritime History and Underwater Research. I intend to minor in History and New Media and possibly Historical Archaeology.

I created and direct the online Museum Of Underwater Archaeology. My long term goal is to teach history, new media, and underwater archaeology within a history department.

I'm returning to school after a eleven year vacation. I've been married for 18 years and have two children, ages 10 and 13. My son knows more about some of this than I do.

One thing I'm looking forward to in this class is the opportunity to learn how to build cleaner web pages. I am self-taught and because of that I think I have probably coded things in ways that are not the most efficient. They work but upkeep becomes a chore as the number of pages multiply. I’d love to be able to streamline things and exchange ideas with the other students.
