Greetings from Maryland
« on: 2014-02-04, 15:23:16 »
Hello all,
My name is Mike, I'm a recent college grad from the DC metro area. Not surprisingly my degree was in History, though with heavy concentration in 19th century American. Recently I've decided to pursue my interest in medieval history. I'm an avid Civil War and Revolutionary War reenactor and now intend on developing a medieval kit or two. Thanks to Ed Toton and Nathan Quantrillo for their kind invitations to join. I hope to become an active member and learn a great deal from everyone here.

Thorsteinn, despite my degree in History, I somehow found myself involved in IT support. Go figure. Though I can't complain; the paychecks now enable me to buy copious amounts of historical stuff.
