About Me


Well let's see...

My wife Brandy and I have been married since '01. We got together in '99. At that time I had one small box that was half filled with figures. Like my collection our love has grown into something that many just can't understand. For her - she loves me even though I am a total geek and jackass. For me - I love her for loving me even though I am a total geek and jackass. We have a great time together.
I obviously have an unhealthy Star Wars obsession. I have been collecting "HARDCORE" since EP1 came out. That doesn't mean I don't have some of my old vintage stuff. Not as much as I had but I think I have made up for it. Click the pic to see 5 albums of my collection....yes, 5!
We have a dog and a cat that we treat like children. That seems to be good enough for us right now.
We are in the process of having a home built. We needed a bigger place for all our stuff. Brandy also has an addiction. Her's is to arts and crafts stuff, jewelry making, scrapbooking...the list goes on and on. She needs some space too.

Slower House Tour - much better than the first tour!

O.K. I tried this before with some run-through tours but I think I just made people dizzy and sick. So here is a much slower tour. I took this about a week before we moved in (Labor Day Weekend '06). ...
