I am here for Dating, Serious Relationships, Friends and Networking

About Me

Oh, where do I begin. I'm a geek at heart, who went and made a relatively successful business out of being a geek (as Editor and head bozo at Action-Figure.com), whose friends thought it was a folly at the time, but now think it's the coolest thing. Along the way I've had the pleasure to meet some of the most interesting people, some amazingly talented but undiscovered, others who are known as pioneers in their field. I'm loving the journey I'm on, which shows no sign of ending.

I'm always looking for new non-business opportunities (I want to be an extra in a movie, I want to write one issue of a comic book, etc.). I guess I just want to get to 65 and say "this is all the crazy shit I did" to myself.
Oh and go check out my website. If you love pop culture there's bound to be something there for you


The site even has it's own MySpace page at http://www.myspace.com/plasticfreak and has more friends than me!

Action Figures, Statues, Busts, MMORPGs (especially Star Wars Galaxies), Movies, Comics, Videogames, writing (both fiction and non-fiction), playing on my Xbox360, hanging out with my friends

Interesting People. I don't care whether you are known within your field of specialization or completely unknown, I like people who have gone and tried to accomplish something in their lives (however big, small, successful or unsuccessful).
