36, married with 2 great kids. Live in New Joisey. Have been into GI Joe since early '83. In addition to being into GI Joe, I also play a collectible card game called Magic: The Gathering. I know, I know...I'm a really big geek...

I'm currently in school pursuing my PhD in psychology and work full time.

Peace,
Matt

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.

In an effort to get to know each other, I’ll start the introductions by telling you about myself. I’m Ender098 aka Frank. Well, I TRY to be FRANK (that one never gets old). I have been collecting GI Joes since I was 14 back in 1982. I have a wife and two kids, and I’m an active Duty Marine. My hobbies are Martial Arts, Military History, Action movies and everything about Joe and Dio Stories!

I found this site a few years ago and lurked for a while, and one day my wife looked at my collection and asked what I was gonna do with them. As she put it “You’re never gonna “play” with them! I happened to be on JoeDios website and thought….HEY! I have a Camera and some Joes…..I could totally do THIS!

So far I have created 5 Dio Stories;

FALLOUT (never finished it, and it will be available soon in PDF Format!)

The Rise Of the Shadow Guard An introduction to the state of Cobra in my JoeVerse!

Your Loving Son, Chris A Companion piece to LordRaven (aka Shane’s) Dio Story “Your Loving Son, Jim”

Riddick, Run! The Start of my Venom II/ Riddick Storyline

Enemy of My Enemy Parts I and II - A continuation of the Riddick/Venom II series


I also written reviews and how-to’s in order to help out beginning Dio Story creators! There is plenty to do here and if you learn something or have something to contribute, please do. No one is perfect, and the learning by making mistakes is as fun as succeeding with this hobby! I Totally love it. You don’t have to have a HUGE collection. Most photos or Dios focus on 3 or fewer characters!

If you need help, guidance, wanna chat with me or even critique my work….feel free. I’m always looking to help or get new fresh input!

We have a lot of members who are VERY talented and fun to just chat with and pick their brains! Let us know about yourself and..



Oh..here I am in the SeaWrold T-Shirt!

God, introductions again?

Okay, fine.

Hi, name's Jay. Not my real name but the one you may refer to me as.

I live in Montreal, up in that big hunk'o land called Canada, eh?

I'm trying to fix up my Joe room after that I plan on finishing a dio story my son and I were working on in NY along with my Joe story (that ran into some story problems) I've only done tutorial (nothing compared to Ender098)

Welcome and Enjoy the site.

Hi, I'm Mobius_1, resident fighter nerd and teen collector.
although i don't have nearly as many figures and am limited to my backyard for shots ('cept the two that i snuck in at a local park. and the ones i took at scout camp) i do my best.

and also, HOORAY!!!! I'm not the only one suffering from Aspergers Syndrome!

Although i am unemployed, expect to hear of me in a few years when i bring back the Tomcat!

I am also a Life Scout pursuing Eagle.


Here's a pic of me in the Baltimore Ravens' Locker room. I'm the one in the center

Just a quick suggestion if I may? Can this be stickied? Should I be mailing this to a moderator to get it stickied?
Otherwise it will get sent to the bottom like that other Intro thread.

It would be much preferable if the thread stayed open and visable on the first page.

Onwards with my own Intro.

My name is Rich, I'm from Manchester, United Kingdom (debated) and I am a huge GIJOE Fan. I am 27 and enjoy creativity at it's wildest. I have several projects going at the moment varying from shop management on EbaY to Animation and film creation on YT and dio pictures here on JOE DIOS.

I am currently unemployed and was diagnosed with Crohns back in 1998. I hope to be working again soon having wrestled back some stability in my life.
My previous Aliases and known aliases online on various forums are as follows:
SuperiorRaw, Rawgenius2005, Frag-Viper01, Nemesis Enforcer Fan, GeniusNo:1, Addicted2theNet
My current one will be around for a while. I began collecting GIJOE in 1987 on my seventh birthday and my first figures were flint, dial tone, airtight, crazy legs, frostbite, ripper and dr.mindbender.
Finally.. Welcome to JOE DIOS. Be Creative but most of all Have Fun!!
Rich.
