Curriculum Vitae...this is what academics call a listing of their professional activities.
When I am not bellowing out "The Do Now is on the board!" I am happy to spend time with my wife, Melissa, and our two children, Austin and Olivia. Olivia, who is in 1st grade, is a sheer delight and for my money has a face that could launch more than a thousand ships! Austin, a fifth grader, shares many interests with me, including playing Greek/Trojan or Roman soldiers in the backyard, adding to our collection of toy Mustang cars, woodworking, and playing chess. He is also a travel basketball player.
One of these days I hope to come roaring into NC in a classic Mustang from the '60's or early '70's. And what would be blasting from the stereo of such a classic ride? Classic rock, of course! Probably "Smoke on the Water" by Deep Purple, or something from '80's hair bands Whitesnake or Stryper.
And what am I not doing when I'm not involved with any of that? Chances are I am doing something with our children or at our church. Of course, I could also be reading(typically historical fiction or non-fiction books having to do with philosophy or theology) or using one of the writing instruments from my collection of fountain pens. I am also likely to be found portraying a character from ancient Rome, such as Gaius Crastinus, the first-spear centurion of Caesar's Legion X, or Publius Sempronius Tuditanus, one of the soldiers at the tomb of Christ. To check out my historical re-enactment work, see www.romanpersonas.com, or www.romanpersonas.blogspot.com, a blog about the Roman army, re-enactment, and the story of how I came to portray Roman soldiers in real life.
