DAVID J. JEPSEN

Never bashful about pursuing a dream, I walked away from a 30-year career in journalism and corporate communications to fulfill a lifelong passion – history.  In 2003, I thanked my employer for a great career and entered the graduate program at the University of Washington.  My goal was to do what I’m doing now, writing and teaching history. Today I’m getting great satisfaction teaching Pacific Northwest and U.S. history at Tacoma and South Puget Sound community collegesCommunity College.  I hold a master’s degree in history and a bachelor’s in communications from UW, and live in Gig Harbor, Washington.
