Who Am I?

I’m a self-proclaimed “Gen X geek” whose passion for pop culture thrust me into a career of professionally running anime, comic and video game events for a living. As a part of my job, I’ve had the opportunity to visit a lot of pretty amazing places, something I enjoy blogging about here from time to time. So while this is my personal journal, it’s also become a half-decent resource for fandom events and travel.

That said, all posts and content here are strictly my opinion and are not endorsed by any company, entity, or business I’m is affiliated with unless noted otherwise.
