My very first SCA event was Honor War in the college of Lyonsmarche, April 2010. From that very first event, I have been hooked (attending at minimum 5 events per year). I have spent most of my time in the Kingdom of An Tir, with around a 3-year period in the Kingdom of Atlantia (June 2012 - August 2015). While in Atlantia I picked up Rapier fighting, while I continued to work on my heavy kit that I had moved out east with me. Once I returned to An Tir I picked up combat archery. My current martial passion is Cut & Thrust, and I have enjoyed picking up target archery as well, first competition at Vulcanalia (archery fest) 2023.

As of 2024, I started a Provost and Protégé relationship with Master Talentus del Albero.
