The Team
As we so often say on the show, one of the things we enjoy most about the podcasts is that we have met a "community" of folks who share a similar passion for history in our listeners and along the way some of those good people have become part of the "team" that makes the shows happen. Meet them below.
Alexis is a native Houstonian and graduate of Houston Baptist University with a degree in Journalism and Mass Communication. At present, she is employed as a communications professional at a university in the Houston area.
She has an avid interest in history, particularly that of Great Britain and is a self-proclaimed "Britophile".
Chris is originally from Concord, North Carolina. He is a graduate of American University with degrees in International Relations and Economics. For the past 13 years, Chris has worked on a hazardous materials training program. There, he develops databases, helps prepare training materials, and writes grants.
Chris has had a lifelong love of history. In elementary school, he would play football with a friend in the neighborhood, then go borrow history textbooks from his father. He also asked for the History Channel for his birthday in elementary school- back when they actually showed history…
His interest in history lead him to find A Fork in Time through a search of podcasts. Since finding the podcast, Chris sent in a suggested topic, and was invited to guest host on the show. After guest hosting several other episodes, he was invited on in November 2020 as a regular contributor.
Chris currently lives in scenic Wheaton, Maryland- Home of the longest escalator in the Western Hemisphere!
Born and raised in Memphis, Tennessee, Dylan is a real estate attorney who assists with delinquent tax foreclosures in his hometown. While in college working towards his B.A. in History he worked as a tour guide, showing visitors the various musical heritage sites across Memphis.
His passion for history emerged at an early age, as the son of two teachers. His father would tell him stories of his conversations with Civil War historian Shelby Foote when the author would sit in Overton Park on breaks from writing his famous literary trilogy The Civil War: A Narrative. When not dirt-lawyering by day, Dylan enjoys playing music with his father in their band The Memphis Snake Doctors and cheering on the Memphis Grizzlies
Evan Buck is a credit analyst from San Diego, California, who primarly works with small and medium-sized businesses to help them with their working capital needs. He graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Business Finance from California State University-San Marcos in 2019 and has been a history enthusiast since grade school. He found the podcast by searching Spotify for alternate history podcasts after enjoying the first two seasons of the "Man in the High Castle" show on Amazon Prime.
Outside of historical theory-crafting, he enjoys reading, playing games (beach volleyball and Halo are a couple of favorites!), stock trading, helping at his local church (Mission Church in Carlsbad, California) and spending time with friends and family. He has also coached a high school debate team and been honored to help some of students win national championship honors in Lincoln-Douglas debate, a style of debate named after the famous debates between Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas.
Robert was born and raised on the east side of Houston in the community of Galena Park and graduated from the University of Houston. He is a professional corporate trainer and leader in the talent development field in the Houston area and holds the Certified Professional of Learning and Performance (CPLP) designation. Robert is a regular on the Man Up Podcast.
Madison (Grace) is the official mascot of A Fork In Time and Alexis' dog.
A sometimes contributor as the background barking that can be heard on some episodes, Madison is a mixed-breed rescue that joined the family on July 4, 2015, and takes her name from American history in the form of homage to First Lady, Dolly Madison.
Her middle name of Grace was chosen simply because all of us need a middle name to be used on us when we get in trouble and in recognization of a connection to her beloved and missed predecessor, Faith.
We are always curious but will never know of the alternative timelines that run through her head. One can only imagine.
