I was raised in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and have lived in Oklahoma and Texas. I have been a Certified Surgical Technologist since 1990. I currently work in a large hospital in Tulsa. I live in Bartlesville, Oklahoma. I have a BA in Letters with a minor in Medieval Studies from the University of Oklahoma. I studied Medieval History in graduate school at the University of Texas, Austin, but did not take a degree.

My main interest here will be Medieval art, especially illuminated manuscripts. Other interests may include: other aspects of the Middle Ages, birds and birding, traditional Irish and Scottish music, Oklahoma history and geography, science fiction and fantasy, children's literature, and folk-lore and tales.

I am active on Wikipedia, where I have contributed under my name, and as Dsmdgold.
