Timeline of Activity:

2000: Started in the East Kingdom: The event was Something Fishy This Way Comes. When I first started, I found the SCA accidentally. I bumped into some friends who I used to hang out ... 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. The group there, was defunct. I helped them restart Dragonfly Marsh. 2006: I switched jobs in the airforce and was sent to Ansteorra, in Bjornsborg. 2007: Before I had to leave, I became a cadet to Pieter Rauch. The joke was he put a scarf on my arm as I was getting on the plane. I headed back to the East Kingdom. and as there for 4 years. 2011: Orders sent me to Florida - to Trimaris. 2019: I retired from the Air Force and moved to Philadelphia, the Barony of _____, in the East Kingdom.

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.
