Kirsten Gundlack Levinson

Operations

Kirsten (“the pen”) has worked with husband Daniel (“the sword”) Levinson since 2003, overseeing the administrative side of Rapier Wit. A former actor and ESL teacher turned writer, she has a BFA in acting from York University, a creative writing post-graduate certificate from The Humber School for Writers, a creative writing MFA from The University of Guelph-Humber, and a modest ray gun collection. Her novella Inheritance, co-winner of the Ken Klonsky Novella Competition, is available through publisher Quattro Books and major booksellers and would make a lovely gift for that special someone.

Amanda Martin

Admin Assistant

In university, I decided to try fencing and spent 5 years beating people up with swords. Then university ended. What’s a girl to do but find more swords? Even though I worked as a chemist for several years, I found my passion in teaching. So, while pursuing my career as a high school science and drama teacher, I joined Rapier Wit and have begun the long(ish) journey to become an FDC Instructor.

Christopher Mott

Webmaster

In addition to his teaching duties at Rapier Wit, Christopher is also our local Web guy! He is self-taught, having become sick of being a cliche actor-bartender. Plus he got too old to work until 2am. Sitting down in front of a keyboard is much more his speed. His copious coffee consumption remains unchanged. Soon, he’ll even have his own official-type web design and development company! Soon. He keeps saying that.
