New to EN World - Kyravahne's Background
Hello all, My name is Scott Noel. I am a father, husband, car marketeer, and long time gamer who has recently moved myself and my family to the exotic middle east. We are getting used to Dubai and the heat, and discovering that the Arabian Gulf can be a really beautiful part of the world.
Some of the first friends I made here were gamers who I actually met through a D&D message board looking for players.
My background is a little wacky (like that of most people who want to work in the middle east).
I've worked for Ford for the last 10 years, and during that time have moonlighted as a martial arts instructor, a adjunct marketing professor, and a Kaplan Course tutor. Prior to Ford my jobs included the marketing manager for a freight forwarder in Saudi Arabia, Army Officer (I was qualified as an Armor Platoon Leader - which is about as close to being a knight in shining armor as one can get these days), and a singing waiter.
Kyravahne is the name of my favorite D&D character (an Elven Bard).
My current ambition is to put my time on the plane and nights in hotel rooms to use creating new content and having it published, maybe even trying my had at some fantasy fiction.
I find the community and company of gamers refreshing and their mentality and openess to new ideas helps me fire and manage my imagination and my life. I like to think that gaming, fantasy, and the non-judgemental support of my fellow affecionados has been one the reasons I have been able to pull the trigger and execute some of my more interesting life decisions and have some "REAL" adventures.
If anyone wants to know more about me, my family, my adventures, or life on the Gulf, I hope they will reply.
