Our guest this week is Shane McInnis, a history professor and Twitch streamer.

Form Shane:

"I was born in 1983 in Hattiesburg, Mississippi and grew up in the home of a Teller of Tales and a Teacher. I like to think that a bit of both of my parents made me turn out the way that I did. My friends and I have always had overactive imaginations and voracious appetites for learning. I attended William Carey University where I received a Bachelor Degree in History.

I got married just after and taught high school for six years. That's when I decided that I needed to go back to school and get my Master in Ancient Imperial History from William Carey, which I completed in 2015.

Since then, I have been teaching in one capacity or another, and in 2018 I got a full-time job teaching History at Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College.

I still have an overactive imagination and have been lucky enough to have several works of historical fiction published. I still read just about everything I can grab. And I love to travel.

Overall, I have a passion for history and a love of teaching!"
