Hello. My name is Andrew, and I write about Westerns. And some other things.

I'm an historian of American cinema and culture. I’m also a museum curator, teacher, and media commentator.

I cohost How the West Was 'Cast with screenwriter and entertainment journalist Matthew Chernov.

I'm the founding editor of two books series: The Popular West at the University of Oklahoma Press and Reel West at the University of New Mexico Press.

I've appeared in programs on History Channel, INSP, PBS, Fox Nation, NPR, CBC, and elsewhere, and been interviewed in publications like ​The Hollywood Reporter, the New York Times​, and the Times of London.

I currently serve as Chief Curator of Western Spirit: Scottsdale's Museum of the West and previously chaired the Department of Film & Media Arts at the University of Utah.
