I have worked as a professional swordswallower for over eight years and have been featured numerous times on the Discovery Channel, Travel Channel and History Channel.
I have worked as a professional tattoo artist, licensed in the Commonwealth of Virginia, for over a decade.
I work occasionally as a professional bartender and enjoy experimenting with flavors and presentation, getting elaborate and fantastic with garnish items.
I have worked as a web designer for just over a year and enjoy working with Wordpress and Drupal sites.
I sew costuming for time periods spanning the Middle Ages to the early 20th Century. I enjoy sewing for the Victorian Era most especially. My corsetry and stays work have been worn on the stage by a number of performers at the Palace of Wonders in Washington DC.
I work on relatively elaborate illustrations when I am home with open time, enjoying the tranquility of the pen and pencil moving across the page.
I write for two blogs regularly (www.theswordswallowers.com and www.palaceofwonders.org) and read and contribute to a number of others.
