Born in 1964 in Denver, Colorado.
I've had an interest in WWII since I was probably 8 or so. I lean towards the European theater more but I have quite a few books on the PTO as well.
I have an interest in the land war, air, and sea war with probably a leaning toward the land war more than the others, although for the past 5 months, I've been totally immersed in the Battle of the Atlantic, thanks to SH3. I've bought a ton of books on the subject, much to the dismay of my wife.

My dad served in the Army Air Corps during WWII as a gunner aboard B-17's flying out of Bury St. Edmunds, England. Unfortuneately, he passed away when I was 7. I never had a chance to talk to him about his experiences.
My step-dad was a mechanic on B-17's in England during the war and my father-in-law served in the Navy in the Pacific on a Net Tender. (Glamorous-no, but he does have some cool stories.)
