To be honest, though I’ve been a Star Wars fan since pretty much the day of my birth, I haven’t always been interested in the EU. However, a few years ago I began to get into the great universe that accompanied my favorite movies. I joined EUCantina when it was just a forum and have enjoyed doing my part in helping it grow. I live in Orlando, Florida, and I’m a huge Orlando Magic fan.

I knew I would forever love Star Wars after watching the Original Trilogy for the first time, during the early 90’s. I loved it so much in fact, that I broke the VCR player from playing the movies over and over again. When the Prequels came out I was there at opening day for each one and I loved them, cheesy dialog and all. One of the main ways in which I satisfy my need for Star Wars, is through video games.

Playing Rogue Squadron on my N64 opened me up to the whole gaming side of Star Wars. Since then I have purchased every Star Wars game I could get my hands on, sometimes even getting multiple copies (yes, I own five copies of Battlefront 2). As long as Star Wars games keep churning out I will be right here, keeping everyone up-to-date on Star Wars games, and unashamedly hyping them up.

I fell for Star Wars as a kid in 5th grade watching it at my Grandparents.  I kept it on the DL through High School, but since the Original Trilogy was about to kick off again in special edition format I had to be true to myself.  The first EU book series I ever read was the Thrawn Trilogy, and Timothy Zahn had me hooked.  Since then I have not looked back.  My SWEU media collection has grown to outrageous proportions.  I’ve been active on sites like SW.com, and TF.N for the last 10 or so years.  Then one day I was contacted by Andrew L. about this awesome thing called EUCantina.  Since then I’ve made EUC my home, and proudly claim the “EUCer” title as my own.  Late last year I joined the guys on the EUCast podcast as a Co-Host, and have been having the time of my life!  While SWEU dominates my life, I am avidly into all Sci-fi, and all great stories.  I am a Father who gets as much fun out of watching his kids play with their toys as I do playing with my own.  All in all: I’m a Toy’sRus Kid at heart.

I’ve been a huge Star Wars fan since I was nine. On June 27, 1999, some good friends of my family took me to see The Phantom Menace. I was hooked. Since then, I’ve watched every Star Wars movie hundreds of times, read every book, played every game for Xbox 360/Xbox/PC/PS3/PS2/PS, and more.

I went to Celebrations III and IV, I was lucky enough to have Attack of the Clonescome out on my birthday, and I went to the midnight showings for Revenge of the Sithand The Clone Wars. I closely follow all Star Wars, technology, and videogame news, so writing about Star Wars is an amazing opportunity!
