Organizing:
Ran a successful Pennsic Encampment of 25-30 people for the last 7
years. McGuire's Marauders.
Took one year off and only did the paperwork, as I was sent to
Germany by my employer.
Ran a Pennsic meal plan for 20 over an open fire and two burner stove
for 4 years, includuding feasts for 35+.
Came to my senses when a reasonable middle eastern restaraunt opened
on site. :)
Organize small teams to produce peerage items: piecework elements and
final assembly.
Organize small teams to assist with costumes for a number of Baronial
plays.
Mundanely a Software Manager with a staff of 14.
Martial:
Finished a longbow from a kit, usually fire it every Pennsic.
Fenced for three years in college, have yet to make myself a fencing
outfit for the SCA, too many projects for others... One of these days I
will get around to it. :)
Wistfully look at heavy list, but with two bad wrists, I have
reluctantly shown discression, as sword and board would be very, very
bad for me...
Odds and Ends:
Four years of chorus, multiple public speaking classes and a large
chest, have left me able to clearly project to the back of a hall or
auditorium, without tearing my throat out.
I drive large vehicles and can transport the thrones myself... They are
lovely but awkward.
