Born: February, 1970
Lived in Connecticut most of my life but used to extensively visit and stay in Burlington, Vermont and Jupiter, Florida on occasion.
Sex: male.. at least the last time I checked..
Eyes and Hair: brown and brown
Weight: 180
Height: 5'11
Marital Status: Married. (Sorry ladies

)

Occupation(s): Dissabled due to severe dysautonomia, former grocery store department manager, former staples department manager

Proclivities: Too many to name

Passions: Making Experimental Electronic Music, Punk Rock, Industrial Music, Stockhausen,Dada, Tape Music (Musiq Concrete), Board Wargames, Pencil and Paper Role Playing Games, Hardcore Computer Simulations especially those dealing with realistic naval stuff or spaceflight, computer board style war games, Science Fiction, Fantasy, Comic Books (Marvel only), Cosmology, Theoretical Physics. I collect virtually every board game I can get my hands on.

Favorite video games: City of Heroes, Dangerous Waters, Silent Hunter III, Harpoon3 ANW, Harpoon4 miniatures, Conquest of the Agean, Highway to the Reich, Neverwinter Nights.

How I Found Subsim: I worked at Staples in the business machines area. I spotted 688i Hunterkiller gold on the shelf for like $12 and snatched it up. A friend of mine worked on the USS San Juan and it was shortly after he had given me a grand tour of the submarine so I was VERY interested in subs at this point. The game hooked me like no other at the time.. so much so that I bought two copies so my roomate and I could play against each other. It was so cool to be able to take command of the sub that I had just toured with my buddy.
After my roomate decided that he couldn't stand 688i Hunterkiller (He was more of an action "shoot-em-up-arcade-explosions etc..." kind of player), I was unable to find online opponents for a long time. Then Sub Command arrived at our store for like $20 *YOINK !!!*. It was durring my online quest to find opponents for multiplayer that I stumbled upon Subsim. I've pretty much been lurking in the background all these years and I was shy about posting until this past year when I picked up Silent Hunter III and discovered the fantastic stories that can come out of it.
