I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I live in Austin, Texas (and I love it here), I have a wife named Suzanne and a 3-year-old daughter named Katy and I adore them both. I work about 40 hours co-managing Dragon's Lair in Round Rock, a comics and game shop that is part of a 3-store chain in this part of Texas. The rest of my time is spent watching TV and DVDs, playing videogames, reading comics and did I mention watching TV already?
I'm a full-on geek, working in a comics shop and doing the weekly D&D group thing with some friends. I also went above and beyond the geek call of duty for the past 10 years or so, running a comic book review website called The Fourth Rail. I quit reviewing in January of 2006, although I'm still doing comics-related writing for Antigravity, a free monthly in New Orleans. Then, in September of 2006, I returned to reviewing with a new site called Comic Pants. Turns out the reviewing bug bites harder than you'd think.
My Other Sites:
Comic Pants Inside Joke Theatre (My Blog/Homepage) The Fourth Rail

My Interests

My Blog

TV Update - Reviews Part 2

Pretty happy with the TV right now. Standoff had a supremely weak second show which, combined with its weak premise and misuse of a good cast and schedule conflict with The Unit and Veronica Mars, mea...
