Hobbies and Activities
It's important to me to have a wide range of activities in my life. I not only draw inspiration from them, but they help keep me healthy and happy and multi-dimensional. Some of the things I do in addition to costuming, fashion design, and historical reenactment are:
SCUBA Diving
I've been scuba diving since 2002, having learned to dive locally in the rich but cold waters of Monterey, CA. I feel at home at Pirate's Point Resort, Little Cayman, where I enjoy diving, dining, and creating entries for their annual art contest.
