2000: Started in the East Kingdom:  When I first started, I found the SCA accidentally. I bumped into some friends who I used to juggle with, and they said they were getting together and doing a thing on the weekend at the park and I could come out. So I went out with them, and was hanging out with them juggling, and off to the other side, I accidentally saw dudes fighting fighting with swords - what looked like REAL swords. And I was like, "Wait, what, this is a thing?! I could do that?!" So I ran over and I hung out. This was before we had the insurance debacle, so they let you actually kit up at the demo. So I got to fight, and had a blast. I thought, "This is the thing. The greatest thing ever. I wanna do this for the rest of my life." So they told me about fencing and the SCA - so I started looking it up.  Technically, my first event was a shire meeting - no, a Barony business meeting. They were trying to figure out who was going to be able to run for Baron and Baroness. So I accidentally walked into a business meeting, by accident. So I started going to fighter practices. I was wearing my sweatpants and t-shirt, and was like, "Ya'll ain't gonna get me in that lame poofy shirt. Like, it's not happening." But they said, "Hey, there's more fighting at an event! You should show up to some events." "... More fighting?" "Yeah. But you gotta wear the (poofy) shirt."  So Something Fishy This Way Comes was my actual first event. I had been going to practices for six or seven months at that point. I was dressed in a pair of sweat pants and a shirt.  
 
2003: Got orders to go to Guam, and was stationed there for 2 years. When I got there, there were actually SCAdians there. There were 4-5 families doing heavy fighting. I didn't really do heavy, but they reached into their bags and pulled out rapier gear.  I got to fight for a few months, but then they got orders.

Timeline of Activity:

2000: Started in the East Kingdom: When I first started, I found the SCA accidentally. I bumped into some friends who I used to juggle with, and they said they were getting together and doing a thing on the weekend at the park and I could come out. So I went out with them, and was hanging out with them juggling, and off to the other side, I accidentally saw dudes fighting fighting with swords - what looked like REAL swords. And I was like, "Wait, what, this is a thing?! I could do that?!" So I ran over and I hung out. This was before we had the insurance debacle, so they let you actually kit up at the demo. So I got to fight, and had a blast. I thought, "This is the thing. The greatest thing ever. I wanna do this for the rest of my life." So they told me about fencing and the SCA - so I started looking it up. Technically, my first event was a shire meeting - no, a Barony business meeting. They were trying to figure out who was going to be able to run for Baron and Baroness. So I accidentally walked into a business meeting, by accident. So I started going to fighter practices. I was wearing my sweatpants and t-shirt, and was like, "Ya'll ain't gonna get me in that lame poofy shirt. Like, it's not happening." But they said, "Hey, there's more fighting at an event! You should show up to some events." "... More fighting?" "Yeah. But you gotta wear the (poofy) shirt." So Something Fishy This Way Comes was my actual first event. I had been going to practices for six or seven months at that point. I was dressed in a pair of sweat pants and a shirt.

2003: Got orders to go to Guam, and was stationed there for 2 years. When I got there, there were actually SCAdians there. There were 4-5 families doing heavy fighting. I didn't really do heavy, but they reached into their bags and pulled out rapier gear. I got to fight for a few months, but then they got orders. 2004: Moved to Meridies.

Populace Provided Information:


Notable Contributions or Accomplishments:

  • Trimaris Royal University: While this started off primarily for Armored combat, I helped Clothar develop a program for Rapier, bringing in instructors from out of Kingdom to help shape the rapier community.
  • In Trimaris, they had three Kingdom Rapier tourneys: Defender of the Queen's Heart, Champion of Trimaris, and Champion of the Roses. Clothar and I sat down and defined roles and responsibilities for those three champions. We gave them job descriptions and codified their duties. We helped to foster the Cult of Regina in Trimaris.
  • Queen's Champion :1x East, 3x Trimaris - and was Champion of Trimaris the other two years I wasn't Queen's Champion. In the East Kingdom, it is a bestowed title. In Trimaris, it is a Tournament.
