Staccatto was introduced to Amtgard in the spring of 2007 as a senior in high school. He played regularly with the [[Crimson Sanctum]] throughout his senior year and the summer until he moved to Seattle to attend the University of Washington. In Seattle, he likes to say that he plays once in a while with the boys at the [[Inland Ocean]], but in reality, he's only been there once and hates to ride a bus for several hours just to sling a little foam. Though he once rode the bus for over two hours to go back, only to remember that they meet on Saturday and not Sunday. Since moving to college, Staccatto only really does anything Amtgard-related during his vacations back home, when he plays regularly with the Sanctum.

Having spent most of his life in pursuit of coin and cleavage, Staccatto stumbled into the Crimson Sanctum where he played many concerts, made some good friends and ruthlessly ridiculed everyone who wronged him.

... What did you expect? He's a bard. That's what bards do.
I come off as a bit of an arrogant jerk almost all of the time. Sorry about that; it's more of an act than anything. I like to play the bard and, in my head, that includes a bit of mockery and playful ribbing. If it really bothers you, you can talk to me about it. When push comes to shove, I like to think I'm pretty good at putting my nose to the grindstone and getting things done. I do have a genuine, profound respect for many, though I usually prefer to express it by giving them a hard time.
