Robyn joined the SCA in 1987 during his first year at the University of Guelph and immediately began playing music for dance and creating activities for children at events. Much later, he attended Pennsic as a merchant selling paper and printed items, pewter cast pendants, transverse flutes and rommelpots. After taking some time to be less active around 1999-2000, Robyn returned to attend the Known World Dance Symposium VII, and to bring friends to a Coronation in 2015.
