Your Friendly Neighborhood Historian

Since 1985, I have published fascinating history articles on the Internet to intrigue, inform, and entertain. I’m a retired high-tech exec with 40 years at Silicon Valley companies.
I write about technology and AI. I have also written touring guides on international travel, having visited 55 countries. Additionally, I write reviews of movies, TV shows, concerts, and theatre.
I blog at [billpetro.com](https://billpetro.com) on these topics and more. I syndicate my articles on all the major social networks and publish on Medium and Substack.
My bachelor’s degree is in the history of Christianity and ancient Jewish history at the University of California, Berkeley. Since then, I’ve done graduate work, and learned from research after traveling 2 million miles. I teach history and conduct credential examinations for pastoral candidates on church history.
