About me

Introduction I’m really just a “normal” guy. I live in the great state of Colorado and am a Colorado native. I work in the Technical Publications field for a mid/large-sized company. In addition to the TMNT, my interests include watching sports of all kinds (especially soccer, football, and hockey), mountain biking, playing golf and softball, computers and tech stuff, and spending time with my beautiful family. I like intelligent, witty, and sharp (sometimes dry) material that makes me laugh and/or ponder (e.g., shows like Arrested Development, Seinfeld, and Breaking Bad; movies by the Coen Brothers). I’ve been known to get into trouble on occasion with my sense of humor. This mostly occurs when I mistakenly determine a situation to be one that is ideal for the interjection of humor when, in actuality, it is not.
Interests I am primarily a collector of the comic books that contain TMNT appearances. I’ve always had a special passion for the comic books and so I focus most of my collecting efforts (and dollars) there. My goal is to acquire at least one copy of every comic book that contains a TMNT appearance. This is no easy task but it is definitely a labor of love. My collection also contains a large assortment of unopened TMNT action figures (many from the original 1980’s Playmates line) and miscellaneous other TMNT collectibles (some very rare) that I’ve found over the years. As to the size of my TMNT collection, the best word I can think of to describe it would be “extensive.” The comic books alone total somewhere near 1, 000 copies. I am currently in the process of building a website to display my entire collection (http://www.tmnt-ninjaturtles.com) and I’m hoping for a launch this summer. In the meantime, you can find a bit more information about me as well as some interesting previews of my collection at my blog (http://blog.tmnt-ninjaturtles.com/).
