Hi all...from the standing in line in 1977 to see ANH...I have been a Star Wars fan since I was 8 years old. Lucky enough to have been that age when it came into the World. At an early age...collected all the figurines, had all of it. Many thanks to my Mother for giving it to my younger brother and his using them as "battle toys"...destroying the entire collection. No, not bitter...hahaha.

I have always been good with building and tinkering. I have flipped a few houses in my time, spent my early years as a Neon Tube-bender and started my first neon wholesale business at 22. I sold 8 years later,,,then bought a "Cultured Marble" company in 2002...sold out in 2007. I have electronic and plastic / resin and that experience. I am currently a District Sales Manager for an International Document Security Company and love my work.

So...here i am, ready to tackle my first build...with a very heavy commitment to several more. I am looking very forward to meeting my Alabama Garrison brethren, helping where I can for the "cause" of the 501st, FISD and the Alabama Garrison. Not many opportunities to do something we enjoy as much, meet great people, and help others at the same time.

Thanks to all for all the help so far...and for the help to come. I hope to give back as much as I get!

(P.S. that is not a approved helmet...it is a black series I got for halloween...which started this whole thing!)
