I live in Hyattsville, MD, with my lovely wife Marna. Though my degrees are in history and I trained to be a college professor, I worked for the Army and the Navy as a museum curator for 29 years before retiring in 2003. In 1994 I started attending renaissance faires and in 1998 got serious about it; I’ve been to 28 different faires all over the country and have worked at several. I have been a regular member of the cast at Maryland, North Carolina, Carolina, and Virginia. Most of the time I do military reenactment as a common man at arms, but I have also played the tuba and euphonium in the brass choir at Carolina 2-3 weekends a year for the past ten years and have sat in on tuba with the brass choir at the Texas Renaissance Festival for four years. Renaissance faires have become my classroom, where I teach about the art of war in the period 1300—1600. I am pleased to share what knowledge I have of period military history with any who ask, and have put together an extensive bibliography on late medieval, 16th century, and early 17th century military history which is free for the asking.
