James
R. Dancho
James Dancho, was born July,
1990 in Connecticut. Growing up in Monroe, Connecticut James lived an average
middle class life. James attended Joel Barlow High School in Redding,
Connecticut playing football, basketball, and pursued his interest in history. Extensively
reading historical material and analyzing historical sources while enjoying the
basic idea of history being a story sparked the passion to learn, research, and
retell historical events.
By
graduation no longer was James interested in just teaching history but became a
part of it. September 2008 brought a new recruit to the United States Marine
Corps. Serving as a Motor Transport operator James was able to travel
throughout the United States engulfing himself in different cultures and
perspectives. James was stationed for most of his duty in Miramar California
where an interest in Spanish culture began. James, also, served one tour in
Afghanistan where he realized his calling to serve another purpose to be that
of a College professor. Enrolling into college night courses on base, offered
by Central Texas College, James completed most of his general studies.
By
September 2012 James completed his service and begun his search for a
university to attend. University of Missouri-St. Louis answered that call.
James’s interest in Latin America history started here where James took all
available courses offered in Latin America history. May 2016 James graduated
Cum Laude receiving his B.A. in history.
James is
currently applying for grad school continuing in history but with an emphasis
in Atlantic World history. Covering topics such as Native Americans,
colonialism, and independence of American nations.
