* Daystar and Moon (somewhere along the way.)

Throughout my time in the SCA, I have taken most pride in volunteering. I have been a regular volunteer at events (local and otherwise) throughout my time in the SCA, working in kitchens, at gate, for clean up, for set up, and so on. Although I have never autocratted an event, I have been involved in nearly every aspect of event running. In addition, I have often done last minute scribal duty at events (including Pennsic) as well as regular longer term assignments (though less recently.) As a Burrough officer, I spent many evenings and weekends arranging for members to get to practices and events.

Mundanely, I am a high school teacher of students with special needs. I believe that my professional experience gives me additional perspective on the communication, cooperation, and coordination that being Seneschale requires.

Finally, I request that you send questions that may be of a more personal nature to me privately.
