I have been married to a lovely lady for six years and our first child was born on January 14, 2000. I earned a varsity letter in my third season and later served as the sabre instructor for the club at the University of Kentucky . Having moved to Rochester, NY, where some of the best fencing is found, I look forward to continuing my own education. Fencing is a sport for a lifetime. But in all seriousness, young and old, male and female can all compete together because fencing is not about strength or size.
Fencers rely on strategy, timing, distance and a clean execution of technique.
The sport has commonly been compared to chess, but at 90 miles per hour. Many people whom I know love to read. A good book can carry them away, into far off lands and fantastic tales. I find that same exhilaration in writing. Recently, it's been writing science fiction.
