Biography
After fighting live steel for a few years I found Amtgard. It looked alot less painfull and more fun. Sir Crosser in FalconRidge helped me and a few friends found Mithril Keep in Cincinnati in October of 1999 and Ive been playing ever since.
Ive been in and out of Amtgard several times for personal reasons and keep finding myself pulled back in. It's like crack, once you start you can't stop. Ive held every office at the shire level several times and Baron of MK for one term. Unfortunately no chapter in Cincinnati has made is past that for long. I spent some time in Elkhart, Indiana playing with Thundering Rivers and am now back in Amtgard playing at Obsidian Hills.
I prefer fighting florentine or pole and and trying to get better at short and sword and board.
2/20/2013 I finally retired from Amtgard in 2012 and returned to fighting live steel with the Adrian Empire.

Notable Accomplishments
- RW Guildmaster of Engineers for Raven the Muse. I created an armor rating sytem for chainmail in the Rising Winds under 6.0. Ironically, it is the same system now used in the current system. It was nice to see their faces when Warbird blasted me full power with a sharp Claymore while I was wearing my 65lb chainmail shirt though! :)
