About Me
My name is Dave. I am a History teacher, living in Rockville, Md. I currently specialize in United States history, but have always loved World History above all, especially East Asian history and the history of the Islamic world. Areas of particular interest currently include America's colonial period and the earliest years of European settlement, as well as US foreign relations during the Cold War.
I am a native to Pittsburgh, Pa. I have been an avid fan of Pittsburgh Penguins hockey since a young age, and have also played hockey myself for about 18 years. In addition to my love of hockey and history (and miniature gaming, obviously) I enjoy spending time with family and friends, which as of Dec. 21st 2017 includes our son Logan. My lovely wife Melissa and I were married in July of 2014.
Below I thought it would be interesting to list and keep current the armies I play in different games. This would have been really hard off the top of my head maybe 3-4 years ago, but today I have cut back on a number of systems.
Historical:
28mm Napoleonics - Russian, Austrian (both pretty small forces)
15mm Napoleonics - French, Confederation of the Rhine, Polish Vistula Legion, Prussians
Saga Dark Ages - Franks, Norse-Gaels, Irish, Welsh
Saga Crescent and Cross - Arabs (can be any of the 3 factions), Spanish
Hail Caesar - Imperial Rome, Barbarians (mix of Dacians, Germans, Gauls, really just any barbarians!)
Fantasy:
Age of Sigmar - Tzeentch w/ demon focus, Beastclaw Raiders
Sci-Fi:
Warhammer 40k - Tau, Astra Militarum
Epic 40k - Space Marines, Chaos Space Marines, Imperial Guard
X-Wing - Prefer to play Imperial, but own ships from all 3 factions
