"The story of Wallace poured a Scottish prejudice into my veins which will boil along there until the floodgates of life shut in eternal rest."
Robert Burns 1759-1796

My name is Andrew P. Matthias. Welcome to my personal web page.
Born and raised in Santa Rosa, California. I currently live in Stockton, California with my wonderful wife, Polly, and our little girl, Adrianna.
Currently I am for Peace Keepers Security while going through the hiring process for our local Police and Sheriff Departments. Time will tell which excepts me first. . . Though I love working in protection related fields, I do not plan on working in them forever, for I have another dream...
That dream is to eventually open my own business using a Medieval/Renaissance theme. This dream co-insides with my love of history. See Personal Interests bellow.
As I mentioned under my personal information, I am a lover of history. To be more specific pre 1600 AD. I love to read and collect just about anything that has to do with Medieval or Renaissance history. I also like to 'play' history through partaking in historical reenactment activities. Such activities include (but are not limited to) going to Renaissance Faires, Scottish Highland Games, and Celtic Faires. At these Faires I have participated as a paid guest and also as part of the entertainment. I have participated in reenactment groups such as St. Andrew's Royal Scots & Irish Guild (God save the Queen!), St. David's Guild (a Danish royal court), and am presently somewhat new to the SCA.
SCA stands for: Society for Creative Anachronism, a non-profit group that recreates the better parts of the Middle Ages (ie., no Black Death, no Inquisition, no serfs, but lots of feasting, dancing, pageantry, fine arts, music, and, usually, the people smell clean). Like most members of the SCA, I have created a persona, a fictional person who could have lived in the Middle Ages. See My SCA Persona Information page. Soon I shall have a page made for my Renaissance persona too.
