Jake Krumwiede

Theodore Roosevelt was the 26th president of the United States from 1901 to 1909. Previously, Roosevelt had served as William McKinley's vice president, before the latter's death in 1901. Roosevelt had also served as the 33rd governor of New York, the assistant secretary of the Navy, as a commissioner with the New York City board of police commissioners and the United States Civil Service Commission, and for three years in the New York State Assembly. Roosevelt would champion progressive initiatives during his time as president, and campaigned on his "Square Deal" domestic policies of conservation of natural resources, control of corporations, and consumer protection. When he felt the Republican party became too conservative under President Howard Taft, Roosevelt started the Progressive "Bull Moose" Party to run against him, ultimately losing to Woodrow Wilson. In his free time, "Teddy" Roosevelt enjoys big game hunting in Africa, touring the new National Parks, writing history texts, and learning about the natural sciences.
