About me: I am a complete and utter Anglophile. I'm fascinated with British history and culture. I am especially interested in the British Army, no matter the time period - from Blenheim to the Falklands, and everything in between.
I am very involved in living history - trying to understand the past by living the way people did in another time. I currently reenact as a British Paratrooper during WWII.
When I'm not reenacting, I enjoy reading, watching movies, and playing computer games.
My wife shares many of my interests, and there is nothing we like better than going on vacation to England.
I go to St. Dunstan's Episcopal Church in San Diego because I enjoy the traditions of the Episcopal Church and its ties with the Church of England.

Hello my brother, I am the same way with Iraqi Militaria: Here is one of my Pieces in my collection. Iraqi Brigadier General receives his Commanders wing by British Airforce Commander in England Stradoshal R.A.F Base.
Hope you enjoyed the 1st AB party. Ill try and make it next year, school conflicted this time around. Thanks for the card and i hope you have a Merry Christmas too.
ya we are ok now. the fire took out majority of the stores in our area along with about 60+ homes. PD came through saturday, around 2pm, to make us leave but since the roads out were so backed up and some houses a few streets up were getting looted we chose to stick it out and save/watch the homes on our street. hopefully this will give the irvine company a wake up call so they will clear out all the brush along the houses so this wont happen again.
Been pretty busy with my junior year. Between school and ROTC i have so little time, especially since i have to train much harder this year for camp this summer. After that I gotta ride out my senior year and ill be a LT. How are things on your end? Is our unit going to attend Roberts in the Spring?
I'm finished with A Demon Awaits , just waiting for cover art now.
In the meantime, I'm planning a winery tour to visit the winery where Sin and Vengeance takes place. So far I've gotten a grea response, so I hope it will be a great event.
