From his kindergarten teacher Mrs. Shepherd to Father Hail, a high school world cultures teacher who blended history, politics, and religion, Schmitz recalls being inspired by their dedication. In college at Chapel Hill, a professor's encouraging comment about his writing planted the seed that he could one day be published—a dream that came true. During graduate studies at NC State and American University, professors like Alan Lickman, Peter Kuznick, and others challenged his thinking and made learning exciting. Schmitz credits these teachers for sparking his intellectual growth and making his career as a history professor possible.\n
