When Did You "Get Medieval"?
30 Years Ago, in 1994 I was introduced to Dameon the Founder & Director of a Theatrical Combat & Joust troupe
and soon became a Horseman & Fighter for The Seattle Knights. Medieval Horsemanship was the challenge I was looking for and My Medieval journey began, training, Performing & Building skills.
I started as a Mounted Skills at Arms rider first, and worked into Jousting All the while I trained hard and attended SK combat training academy, Training that benefited my medieval work on & off Horse. never thought I'd fall in love with combat off horse, but over time I did.
These photos are from my medieval moments with the Seattle Knights (1994-2004)
Theatrical Jousting over time has transcended into full contact Jousting. I enjoy both styles and Continue to train and condition incorporating both. I've continued on with Medieval Horsemanship and Swordsmanship, working with three other Medieval Teams as a Jouster, Mounted Skills Rider and swordsman

How long have you been working with Horses?
I've been competing horses since I was 8 years old (45 years now).
Born into a family of horseman, from a young age I was thrown on everything from naughty ponies to gentle giants.
Breeding farms and show barns and the amazing mentors & Horses that taught me so much.
Those moments in time benefit me to this day and fuel passion.
These photos are from my childhood (Grade school & High School) Please excuse the wear over time
