I entered Fandom when a friend introduced me to Jerry Hogan in the 80s. He was selling comics out of his truck at flea markets, before he bought Trilogy comic book shop. I worked cons with him in New York, Charlotte, and all over the Hampton Roads area. During that time period, I met Michael Khandelwal and was in his VCR club (Variations of Cosmic Reality!). I also helped Michael several of his cons. I’ve been involved with Tidewater Alliance, worked parades and other events with the local 501st Legion, Rebel Legion, and Mando Mercs.

Our first MarsCon was the Jim Butcher year, we had a fantastic time and have been coming back ever since. I must say I came by this prestigious title honestly – it was bought and paid for! (This year by me!)

As a close Friend describes him as – “He is a wonderful teddy bear. Loves gaming, Star wars and sci fi. Has an awesome military truck he drives in parades. Really nice guy, and his wife is pretty awesome too!”
