== Introduction ==
Dante joined Atlantia in early 2001, in the [[Barony of Caer Mear]]. In 2005, he began to study historical Italian [[rapier]] in earnest. In 2008, he moved to the [[Barony of Stierbach]] before eventually returning to Caer Mear in 2015.

Dante is passionate about historical fencing and the instruction thereof. A career educator, he is always willing to spend time helping someone improve their training methodology or work through a question regarding fencing.

== Introduction ==
Dante joined Atlantia in early 2001, in the Barony of Caer Mear. In 2005, he began to study historical Italian rapier in earnest. In 2008, he moved to the Barony of Stierbach before eventually returning to Caer Mear in 2015.

Dante is passionate about historical fencing and the instruction thereof. A career educator, he is always willing to spend time helping someone improve their training methodology or work through a question regarding fencing.
