McCoy has loved American history since his father introduced him to stamp collecting Determined to live in Washington, DC, he moved there in 1978, earning a M.S. in Library Science from The Catholic University of America. McCoy became fascinated with the history of "hometown" Washington. Since 2000 he has been a librarian and archivist there. In 1992 McCoy moved to downtown Silver Spring, MD and immediately delved into researching his new community's history.
