Married to the best wife a guy can have (She loves to play Axis & Allies, plays a mean USSR). No kids, but a crazy and wonderful puppy and an indifferent cat :-)
I got hooked on WoG/WoW at Origins in 2012. Enjoys meeting new friends through this great game!

I have a new passion... It's call Wings of War/Wings of Glory. It has taken my love of WW2 history, and made it all the more interesting. I have met some of the finest people playing this game. Hope I can add more to my list of wingmen!
Proud to be a member of BUCKEYE GAMERS IN FLIGHT, the finest squadron in the Aerodrome!
My favorite time of year is Origins. I game with a great bunch of people. Sometimes, I wish I still lived in Columbus so I can play WoG more!
And, Ares, please... Bring out the Corsair. Black Sheep One without his favorite plane??? C'mon!
