Jeremy Swick has one of those jobs that is just cool…he is a Historian and Curator with a passion for history, education, and social media. He’s a huge fan of talking history and learning. He’s worked professionally at several institutions ranging from a historic photography museum to the Pro Football Hall of Fame and College Football Hall of Fame and is currently the Head Archivist at the Wisconsin Black Historical Society and Museum.

We talked about his work at the Wisconsin Black Historical Society, where his love of history came from and deep-dived into his love for American Football. We also talked about why museums are important and the role they play in their local communities

This is the first of a two-part interview, in part two we talk about Jeremy being a business owner and the lessons he has learned from that.
