I have been Cosplaying since I was 7 years old. I started with Re enacting of Mountain Man time period with my father. I have been involved with Renaissance, Musketeer, Pirate, WWII, Civil War, and now Steampunk. Along with my wife, we created our company Steps In Tyme Designs (www.stepsintymedesigns.com). We are a costume and prop creation company. We specialize in Steampunk, but we can pretty much make what ever we need to. We are a 2014 Reader's Choice Award Nominee for Best Use of Leather by the Steampunk Chronical. My characters I portray now are Dirk Astor, Gentleman Adventurer (see Photo) and Captain Nemo (an homage to James Mason, my favorite actor since I was 5 years old)
