| I started my SCA life in the East Kingdom Principality of Drachenwald (later it became a Kingdom). It was here that I meet my Lady and future wife Samara. We lived in and were founding members of the Barony of Knights Crossing. I first authorized as a fighter in June of 1981. While there I received my AoA (July 1981). Became a Companion of the Silver Guard (Oct 1982). Also in the Fall of that year I became the 2nd Baronial Champion of Knights Crossing, by right of arms. I retained this honor until I moved from the Barony. In the Fall of 1983 I took over the Office of Principality Knight MarshalI. I held the Office til Fall 1984 when I left the Principality and received the PCS. Was was one the first officers of the Black Dragon Guard that my good friend Sean Alansyn. In 1982 I became a Squire to Sir Alric von Baeker. In the Spring of 1984 I became the Champion of Princess Kaylitha Rhiannon of Southhaven, by right of arms. |

| In AS 18 (fall of 1984) my family and I moved to the Barony of Tyr-y Don in the Kingdon of Atlantia. While living there I was the Minister of the Lists as well as served as Marshal for awhile. Or house became the site for many Baronial projects. The garage was the Barony's armoury where 2 oak chairs were made for use as Baronial thrones. |
| In AS 22 (Feb 1989) I moved to the Barony of Wyvernwood in the Kingdom of Trimaris. My family followed 18 months later. We were not very active as I was assigned to USCENTCOM. I did hold the office of deputy Marshall for McDill AFB. While here I was reunited with my Knight after several years of no contact. |

| After Desert Storm I was reassigned back to the Barony of Tyr-y-don. I started to become active again but mundane life took over and I didn't have the time. |
| In 1999 Samara recieved an internship with the US Air Force so off we went to Caid, were we are currently. In our short time here I have been the Shire Seneschal and am now the Shire Marshal. I am as active in the Marshallette as I can be as we are in one of the remote parts of the Kingdom. I got back into flavoring Brandy and brewing Mead which has earned me the Kingdom A&S award, the Harp Argent. I have also been entered into the Order of the Dolphin of Caid for my service. I've maintain the Shire web site for the last several years as well the sites for all your events. |

| It's 2003 and we're off to Atlantia, AGAIN! This time we live in the Barony of Storvik. We are hosting a scriptorium twice a month and trying to get the Brewing Guild actice again. My fighting is picking up again as I have access to a fighter practice every day but Saturday. I'm also a warrented Marshal. In Atlantia there are no at large Marshalls anymore so I'm deputy to the Barony Marshal. Have have also become a warrented Marshal fro Target and Combat Archery. I was given a Grant of Arms at 12th night AS 40 (2006). I have been given a Glass Slipper from the B&B of Bright Hills. I have been given 2 Undines from Queens Rachel and Anneke, so I have a RA. I was also made a member of the Order of the Coral Branch for my brewing. In March AS 40 and 42 I was named Royal Brewer of Atlantia. |
