Brian moved to Voorhees in 5th grade. We hung out all the time for the next couple years. He was the first person to introduce me to Star Wars. When I saw it, I could not believe that my "whole life" had gone by without seeing these movies. Though I was reading an X-Men comic each month at the time, Star Wars was the first time I became fully immersed in a fictional world. It is where I first found something with a deep endless mythology, an entire new universe to explore.
I bought action figures, played video games, watched the movies over and over and collected the card game. Star Wars became my obsession as a ten year old. I was so into it that my Bar Mitzvah was Star Wars themed.
I've always been drawn to expansive mythologies since then. From the Marvel Universe, to Role Playing video games, to Lost; anything with it's own set of rules and tons to learn will draw me in. It is my hope to one day be a part of creating something of that nature.
