Thomas Simpson joined American Ancestors and American Ancestors in 2021 and works on email marketing, paid advertising and marketing automation initiatives. He is enthusiastic about leveraging insights from marketing campaigns to deliver high quality messaging to members of American Ancestors’ mailing list. Thomas brings with him not only seven years of working with marketing automation tools but also a lifelong love for the study of history – having earned a B.A. in History and International Studies from American University and an M.A. in History from Georgetown University. After discovering the surprises of researching his own family’s history (distant relations include a Danish-French engineer ennobled by Louis XIV and Lithuanian musicians who performed for the Russian Tsar), Thomas is eager to help American Ancestors’ mission to connect people with their own ancestors’ stories.
