My name is John, I'm 32, I live in Oregon and have been into GIJoe since they premiered in 1982. I work in the IT field, just received my Bachelors in IT this past February. I am not married but have met my significant other about 11 months ago. She is from Slavakia (not mail order) and is a wonderful supportive woman. No kids as of yet.

I am a collector at heart. Always have been. I collect Marvel Legends, Star Wars, Transformers, Comics, books and am slowly starting up with Side Show collectables. My other hobbies consist of ATV riding, Motor cycle riding, hiking, camping (geeze, this is starting to sound like a personal), movies, traveling and home remodeling.

I joined the Army right out of high school and received my honorable discharge in 2000 (nick of time). My father got me interested in military paraphanalia. He collected all sorts of military goods from Britains Limited soldiers to WWII weapons.

This is the first on-line community I have ever been a part of. I had browsed the site for sometime before deciding to hop on board and am glad that I did. It is cool to interact with people around the world like this. Love the site and really enjoy all of your opinions and comments.
