About Me:
Avid gamer and avowed nerd since 1983. I'm also a First Sergeant in the US Army on active duty. I've been the East Rift Writing Admin since LFR began. I was a triad member for the Duchy of Urnst in Living Greyhawk before that. If there was an Eberron living campaign I'd jump on it in a heartbeat!

I love movies of all types, especially when the ending surprises me. Doesn't happen very often.
TV Shows:
Family Guy, Futurama, and Venture Brothers are my current favorites. I was pretty fond of Deadwood as well.
Books, Comics and Graphic Novels:
I'll read anything. I prefer military history, fantasy, and alternate history.
Music:
I'm in a Motorhead phase right now. I've also been listening to just about anything put out by Josh Homme in one of his many projects.

Dark Sun
Eberron Forgotten Realms

Gaming, WoW, weightlifting, running, movies and finding new, exciting restaurants with my wife.
