Raised in Fredericksburg, Kolakowski received his BA in history and mass communications from Emory & Henry College, and his MA in public history from the State University of New York at Albany.
Currently the CEO of the Wisconsin Veterans Museum in Madison, Kolakowski has spent his career interpreting and preserving American military history. He is the author of four books on the American Civil War and World War II and has 21 videos in the CSPAN video library.
