History in the SCA
My first event was Baron's Ball in Wastekeep in 1994. SCAdians in my college were trying to get a college going or to get more involved with Akornebir, and they brought me to that event. I had been involved in foil and epee fencing until then, and they got me started in practicing on campus. We used boffers and fiberglass rapiers at the time since we all were on student budgets. After college my first event was Celtic Revolt in Wealdsmere in 2007. I have been active in Wealdsmere ever since. I became a Gallant to HE Kelta Bri Leth in 2002, and was taken as a Cadet by Don Jack in 2013. I have had the honor of hosting events on my property since 2007, periodically repelling sieges from my tower. In 2011 I constructed a building to house my anvils and Sir Olfus's forge (being stored here until he returns from Lochac), and have been actively blacksmithing and teaching blacksmithing since then. I have also periodically thrown up buildings (such as my tower and forge), and plan to make a Tudor-style building in 2014 and start construction on a 40'x40' two-story castle in 2015.
