Experience
My primary interest/obsession is Celtic knotwork. I'm self-taught, and have a small business researching and selling board, dice, and card games of the past, primiarily and Renaissance fairs and historical reenactments.
Most of the game boards I have made are decorated with knotwork designs, and in recent years I've expanded into large works recycling "previously owned" tables and covering the entire table tops with game boards, or purely decorative Celtic motifs.
Awards

I have published a semi-regular column on the history of games called the "Compleat Gamester" in "Renaissance Magazine."
