Reenacting

I'm a reenactor with the 95th Rifles - an elite unit that served in both the Napoleonic Wars and the War of 1812, and one I have a deep appreciation for. I portray a Chosen Man (the equivalent of a Lance Corporal), immersing myself in the tactics, kit, and daily life of a Rifleman in the early 19th century. At events I enjoy sharing that knowledge with whoever's curious - whether that's explaining the Baker rifle's unusual accuracy, the green jacket's significance, or what life in the field actually looked like.

The Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA) is a dynamic international organization devoted to the exploration and recreation of the arts, skills, and traditions of the Middle Ages and Renaissance. As a member, I actively participate in rapier fighting, where I hone my skills in this elegant and strategic form of combat. Additionally, I engage in heraldry, a fascinating discipline that involves the design and use of coats of arms, allowing me to contribute to the visual and historical richness of our events. I also enjoy bardic activities, sharing stories, songs, and poetry that celebrate our shared history and culture. The SCA provides a unique community where I can connect with fellow enthusiasts, learn new techniques, and immerse myself in the excitement of the past.
