About Me
Been reenacting to one degree or the other over 16 years. I love armour and arms, tactics, logistics, and fighting. I am the Head Honcho for Wuffingas Reenactment Society. I am a full time Pattern Welded/Damascus steel sword smith. I do knives, seaxes, Camping cauldrons, tripods, etc. But my love is the blade.
I have writen 12 heroic fantasy, and sci'fi novels, four of which will be on the market late this summer. I make my living as a Bladesmith-period Blacksmith. I was US Army 14.5 years, Prison Corrections Officer for 3. Construction of all kinds from 1984-1998. Over the Road truck Driver 2 years. And been running my own business for over ten years now.
Reenactment wise I am Chief Oenghus maqq Loc, a Jacobean Scot in Service to the Clan Hay. I am also known to be a Gaulic Warlord in Rebellion against Caesar, and at times a Pictish Brude harrying the borders of Strathclyde and invading Northumbria. If I'm not killing Vikings I'm raiding with them. When the Spirit moves me I'm an Italo Norman Renegade Sir Raibeart Lok De la Haye, a Hospitalar Knight...on Crusade against the Saracen in the first and second Crusade. In the real world, I'm a 48 year old Father of 3.

Music
Very eclectic tastes. I was weaned on everything from The Who, Mo-Town, Dowap, Bubble-gum, AC/DC, Van Halen, George Therogood, to southern Gospel, Hymm's, Camp Meeting Quartet, Bagpipes, Bluegrass, etc. I have been singing country, rock and bluegrass all my life, and picking bluegrass since I was 40, but spent all my life loving a good country ballad. I like some pop but have never been a Top 40 fan. Some blues, reggae, dixie, Classical.
Movies
All period films even if the costuming and historical accuracy is messed up some. I liked Braveheart, Conan, 13th Warrior, Beowulf and Grendel, Animated Beowulf, Alexander, Patriot, Man on Fire, Four Brothers, Boondock Saints, Snatch, Tombstone, Robin Hood, Fight Club, Excaliber, First Knight, Three Musketeers, Cooler, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Star Trek, and all the spin offs.
TV

Likes
I love sunshine. Laughing. Making fun of me and you. I love the laughter of a baby, and how a dog will lick your wounds and forgive you faster than a human. I love my wife dearly, and my kid's, and my Blacksmith shop. I love my horses, and am proud of them. and love driving them, and making tack and armour for them. I love the Army, Navy, Air Force and yes even the Marines, even if they don't love me back. I love true men, who tell the truth, and look up to many who have accomplished more in this life, with less, faster and better than me.
Dislikes
No movie stars for me, at least not when it come to watching them on talk shows or listening to their lame political bull crap. For the most part, and for all practicality, I think they are self absorbed leeches on the souls of men. I ignore shock jocks, and smart mouth, money grubbing Comedian wanna be politicians. I completely disrespect the Bunny Ranch Whore philosophy. Don't look up to or idolize porn "stars", and the whole "playboy" philosophy. I feel sorry for the ladies that fall into that trap. To much grief, heart-ache and ruin in line with it. If your tit's and your ass is the only way you see yourself as worthy, then I pity you. I hold pure womanhood, motherhood, and fatherhood, in the highest regard, and thank God everyday for my wife's rights and freedoms in this once great land. I don't watch sports anymore. I really do have a hard time looking up to some immoral bastard who makes millions of dollars playing a game, when the good honest men/woman in this country can't even pay there bills. No God denying change agent Socialist College Professors or Main Line Religious Hucksters like Rod Paisley, Binny Hinn, Oral Roberts, for me. I don't look up to crooks, criminals, hit-men, tough guys, or Mob figures. All from the same mold as, Billionaire Businessmen ass-hats who take advantage of you with no personal risk to themselves. I cannot respect men who would kill his neighbor or "clip" a rival gang member. I was under the impression murder was wrong, and not to be glossed over or held in high esteam? I cannot wait for the day when Jesus of Nazeath looks at Donald Trump and says, ... "You're fired". Unfortunatly for him it will be real fire. I don't dig any lazy genre "knights" who use cheating fighters conventions to get ahead. I don't look up to, who the media tells me to look up to. I don't worship rock "stars", fancy preachers, tattoo artists, biker builders, Priests, or anyone else UNLESS they are good men, with high moral fiber. No Pagans-Hells Angles for me. I don't look up to any drug Dealer, Taker, Mule, caught or not, "successful" (Rich) or not. I think Scar Face was an ass hole not a man to be imulated or held up as a "rebel". We have so many "rebels" now, that to actually be a rebel, you have to be a comformist. No Pimps, and their pimped out pimpity-pimp "rides". I don't get superficial and goo-goo eyed over degenerates philosophers, or cynic "educators" or The Evening News Anchor. No immoral men have any place in my life or in my heart at all. I'd take any God fearing, Bible Reading, family honoring blue collar minimum wage Dad, over every scum- bag in this country. It's easy to float down stream and go along with the crowd, and be one of the Gang. I hate the USA news media with a passion, and will until they start reporting and stop the Liberal adgenda promotion, which will never happen, until we are taken over by China and Russia. Spin Dr.'s for the far left.
