Some may know that I own and operate a Celtic music company. We are always striving to bring the Pac NW Celtic community together wherever and whenever we can. It was doing some research online that I came across STK. I was very impressed with the fact that Portland had it's own modern utility kilt.

How may Kilts do you own? 
I have 2 STK kilts.


What is your favorite color?

Forest green and dirt brown. I've run a marathon in one and a 10k in the other. I dig both of the colors I have, But, I also dig seeing what other STK nation members do with their kilts. They might have colors I probably wouldn't get, but, the way they accessorize them rocks!

Usually just tens of thousands of dollars in cash. Really, my cell phone and my notes if I'm doing an interview or feature piece.

What do you carry on your bandoleer?
Mostly, my keys, knife, and STK pockets. I'm curious to see what other STK peeps carry on theirs...

What typically do you wear with your STK?
That's the great thing about an STK kilt. You can go with a t-shirt and converse (Like someone we all know, huh!) or really dress out, with the hose, flash, sporran, etc. And anything in-between. They're so versatile. I generally wear a button down shirt, Scottish hose, and my boots.

Where in particular do you wear your STK?
To many Celtic music events and concerts. To Highland games and festivals, to work, up to the corner store, to the DMV... Like I said, it's replacing your jeans.

What activities do you do in your STK?
Screen print, run, consume pints, conduct interviews, tempt my wife, meet friends, create abstract masterpieces, read, watch the tele, and more.
