He taught at Hawai'i Pacific University, (where he offered courses in the history of warfare, in counterinsurgency, and in strategy at the graduate and undergraduate levels) until some time before Nov. 11, 2022, when he was not listed among the faculty there.
[6][failed verification][non-primary source needed] He and his wife Ann also jointly ran Revival Enterprises during the same period, which developed a popular line of leather and sundries for re-enactment and Western Martial Arts practitioners until they "transitioned the business in 2011 to a silent partnership.
[8][9] Since the controversies and overseas deployment in 2011-2012, Price's academic and public profile switched focus from chivalric culture to contemporary military affairs, counterinsurgency theory, and similar matters.
After receiving his PhD in May 2011[citation needed], Price began in 2012 as a Visiting Professor at Hawai'i Pacific University, teaching primarily within the graduate program for Diplomacy & Military Studies.
As noted above, by November 2022 Price was an Associate Professor in the Department of Joint Warfighting at the Air Command and Staff College in Alabama and was no longer listed with Hawai'i Pacific University.
[17][18][19] In 1984, Price founded a small armory, Thornbird Arms, directed at the SCA's market for functional historically accurate armor, which he operated until 1990.
Currently the SSG has branches in Dallas, Atlanta, Charleston, Boston, Little Rock, Moscow, Latvia, in the San Francisco Bay Area, and in Honolulu.
It was one of the first conferences in the United States dedicated to bringing together scholars and practitioners of the Historical European Martial Arts, and the largest of its kind up to that time.
In 2001, Chivalry Bookshelf reprinted Bengt Thordeman's 1939–1940 two-volume Armour from the Battle of Wisby, 1361 as a single volume,[43][44] and Secrets of German Medieval Swordsmanship: Sigmund Ringeck's Commentaries on Johannes Liechtenauer's Verse, translated and interpreted by Christian Henry Tobler.
[45] From 2001 to 2006, Chivalry Bookshelf published about 20 books by prominent members of the early historical fencing movement including William E. Wilson, Tom Leoni, Stephen Hand, and Guy Windsor until a dispute with the authors about royalties (see Controversies below).
In 2002 Price also contributed an article, "In the Lists: The Arthurian Influence in Modern Tournaments of Chivalry," to an independently published anthology, King Arthur in Popular Culture, edited by Elizabeth S. Sklar and Donald L.
Price's peer-reviewed articles include "A Proposed Methodology for the Validation of Historical European Martial Arts" (Journal of Transcultural Medieval Studies, 2015), "The Resonance of History: The influence of Soviet-era mujahidin networks in eastern Afghanistan" (Army Press Online Journal, 2016), "Human Terrain at the Crossroads" (Joint Force Quarterly, 2017) and "Yron & Stele: Chivalric Ethos, Martial Pedagogy, Equipment, and Combat Technique in the Early Fourteenth-Century Middle English Version of Guy of Warwick" (Journal of Medieval Military History, 2018)[49] He contributed ten articles to the Sage Encyclopedia of War: Social Science Perspectives (Sage, 2016), that included "Afghan War," "Counterinsurgency," "Guerrilla War," "Human Terrain System," "Minerva Program," Project Camelot," "Honor," "Wars of Medieval Europe," "Military Culture," and "Multilateral Warfare."
This book is avowedly a work of enthusiasm by Price, who writes in his introduction that “with the growing convergence between students of chivalric lore, reenactors, Western martial artists, and medievalists – the time seems right to release this new version.
And yet this lately pirated edition, too, is an example of the long reach of Morris’ influence in unexpected places – as a translator, as a medievalist, and as a shaper of the canon.
[60][61] At the same time, Chris Gilman, a California artisan, accused Price of shutting down Thornbird Arms while holding over $21,000 of deposits for product which he never delivered.
[62] Dr. Douglas W. Strong, an American armour scholar, also stated that Price had accepted deposits of at least $1,500 and then failed to deliver the product or refund the money despite being repeatedly reminded of the debt over the following 20 years.
[67][68] McLean also accused Price of reprinting illustrations from a book by late British scholar Claude Blair, "one of the foremost authorities on historic European metalwork, especially arms and armour,"[69] without permission in the same volume of Chronique.
