Biography

I grew up in the 80s and 90s loving the superhero and fantasy adventure stories of that time. My favorite dinosaur is Parasaurolophus; board game genre is dungeon crawlers; and it’s cruel of you to twist my arm, but I guess the best figures in my Funko Pop collection are Aloy (Horizon Zero Dawn), Willow Ufgood (Willow), and Robin Hood (Disney fox version). I'm married to an elementary school teacher and together we have five children. We love to read, watch movies and TV shows, and play games.
