I first became interested in the SCA when I was attending Rice University in Houston. I went to a a local Ren Fair with some friends and saw a demo. It piqued my interest, but I didn't have the time to play much then. Later when I was in grad school in 1998, I started playing with the College of Brymstone. I attended weekly meetings and went to the Barony of Atenveldt's fighter practices. I don't recall what my first event was. | I first became interested in the SCA when I was attending Rice University in Houston. I went to a a local Ren Fair with some friends and saw a demo.

I was inspired by my mother's side of the family and developed a Spanish persona.
