More about me

I was an Air Force Brat from the age of four, living in many places until I went to college. After kicking around a while and picking up extra baggage (my oldest son) and moving to the coast and back, I joined the Air Force. I retired from service in '93 and went back to finish school. Got a BA in anthropology and am intrested in Archaeology.

In the 80's I was a member of the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA) in Bjornsburg. I was an uppity Saxon thrall.
