I'm married to a wonderful like-minded costumer, and have a 12 year old daughter. We love to travel around the world whenever we can, mostly to conventions
My first and foremost interest is Star Wars - I created my first jedi costume in 2004, and have been sewing ever since. We attended Celebration III, IV and VI, Dragon*Con 2009/2011/2012, and have traveled to London and Italy for costuming events.
I am also a passionate collector - my favourites include Gentle Giant maquettes, mini busts, artwork and prints, and just about everything else my credit card can afford

In 2009 I completed my study at AUT, and am now a qualified personal trainer.
