Many of you remember may me from Joebattlelines and Joecon. I don't get much time to read or post anymore, but I thought I would say hey anyway.

A brief bit about me.

I was a huge Joe fan growing up; about my teen age years, cars and girls became more interesting so my parents sold off my collection. I still dabbled in toys. About the same time I was finishing my Finance degree from McNeese State, I re-discovered G I Joe. I went to my first convention in New Orleans, which happened to be the same weekend as my wedding 3 hours away back home, and the first JoeBro I met in person was James. I went to every convention until Providence, I lost a lot of interest in the hobby as other things in my life started to take priority. I even sold off a chunk of my collection I had in storage (along with my entire Star Wars, Marvel and comic collection). My daughter came into my life a little over a year ago, she dominates the focus of my life. I spend my 'adult' days as a project manager and draftsman at our families land surveying company. I've been surveying since I was a kid, and I have not stopped despite numerous failed attempts to escape it. The rest of my time I don't spend at work or with my family, I spend on xbox live. I don't toy hunt as I did a few years ago, it is all about the pre-order for me. And I have all but given up rebuilding any vintage collection, I had it as child, and after spending a lot of money trying to rebuild it, I realized it needs to stay in my child hood. So it is all about new toys for me. I do collect other toys besides G I Joe, but G I Joe will always be my main focus.

I don't remember you. Who are you again? Were you the dude that was the Florida Gator and Tim Tebow super fan?

Gary = Yankies Super Fan

About time you showed up here. Good to have you aboard, buddy.

It is good to be among friends again.
