He grew up watching Cowboy films and like all kids in the 1960s/70s loved them as well as dressing up and playing Cowboys with my mates in the street. I have been involved in Historical Re-enactment for over 40 years, mainly focussing on WW2 but also American Civil War and The Old West. My Old West character is that of a wandering Frontiersman of German descent. I like to tell the public the reality of the hard life on the Frontier and enjoy exploding a lot of Hollywood myths. I also enjoying researching both the period clothing and history of the era.
