 o
who am I you ask? Well if you will only give me the
honor of accepting my word as a gentleman, I shall
reveal to you the true nature of the author of this very
site!First things first and last things next. Ah, the introduction. My name is Ryan Renfro and I hail from Ventura, California. Descending from both Irish Royalty and the noble hero Achilles, whose deeds were laid down by Homer in the Iliad, I intend to give to you in the following lines an account of my life and deeds.
I was delivered by the stork on May 15th, 1979. I
grew up and old but not yet out, and I can only pray that
I may have the strength to prevent the latter.
Formerly enrolled at the University of California Santa
Barbara, I am a double major in Medieval Studies and
history with a minor in German. Little do they no
I'm also enrolled at St Andrews University in Scotland,
where I am completing a masters and where I hope to do an
M.Litt next year. The one thing that I would recommend to any and all of you who are still in school is to BE AN EXCHANGE STUDENT! Living in Germany for a month and Scotland for a year were the best things I have ever done and not only did I have a great time in so doing, but it also continually adds so much to my life that I cannot even reasonably come close to telling you all of the benefits. Therefore I will merely call you attention back to the opening sentence of this paragraph.
As for the future? Who knows. I am currently looking into joining the United States Air Force to become a pilot. Not that I would necessarily want to do that for the rest of my life, but it would be a blast and would pay for a PhD. I hope to become a contributing columnist and author someday and quite fancy going into politics.

The one thing you must
know about me is my fancy (or shall I say...obsession)
with medieval history. Books, films, swords,
armour...just make it medieval and make it mine!
