TOPIC: What makes you unique?

Although it's pretty recent, I may be the only pilot among us.

In college I paid rent/tuition with two jobs: driving a bus and being a sous chef.

I suspect that I am the only player that lifts for the USA powerlifting team and is ranked 33 all time in the masters division. I have 3 world records in Squat, Deadlift, and totals.

I can see the Disney fireworks (when happening) from my front window.

For a year I could see the Sear's Tower from my bedroom window.

I'm an Eagle Scout.

World or Land?

(Although it is probably a good thing that I live in Chicago now and therefore am a reasonable driving distance to GenCon and GHC. Da UP isn’t close to any TD cons.)

I'm also a Michigander-in-Chicago. Troll, though, not Yooper.

As for uniqueness, I wore a chain shirt that I made myself to high school graduation.

There's probably several of us.

I learned to scuba dive the summer the movie "Jaws" came out. That experience may prove useful in 2022's TD adventures.

I managed to find a couple hundred strangers from all over the world to help me present this weird event I love to do. I'm also the luckiest TD gamer.

I am the Inventor of automated phone conferencing (beforehand, it required an operator assist)


I was the executive producer of a video game company, who produced:
Beyond Protocol (currently available as open source) game called Afterprotocol.com
Star Alliances

I have been the IT Business for 43 years, as of this reply I have 14 Mondays till retirement. I have had an interesting career. I worked in downtown DC during the late 80s. I was Henry Kissinger's Phoneman met Pearl Bailey, Jimmy Stewart, the President of Mexico, Steepenwolf, Joe Namath, quite a few Governors and MD Comptrollers, climbed a lot of Telephone poles and worked in a lot of High Security areas. Everyone needs a Phone. In the late 90's I started at the National Institutes of Health, my first job was designing, procuring and manage the install of the Vaccine Research Center, Building 40. If you got one of the vaccines for COVID 19, that is where the initial research was started, that was the first time I worked with Dr. Fauci. I wrote standards and procedures for the install of IT Infrastructure for BIOLevel 2-4 locations. BIOLevel 4 is a Space Suit lab. I designed and had built the Data Center that sequenced the Human Genome. I designed and managed the IT installs for the National Cancer Institute's HQ. Eventually I became a Section Chief and had 44 people report to me, I stopped building buildings and began to build people. I wrote the procedures and policies that are still used today to run the NIH Cabling group.

During all that time I founded the largest game club in the Washington, DC Metropolitan area called WMAGS, we play tested and ran events for many game companies during the 90's. I also ran Atlantic Con at the Baltimore Convention Center...not sure where I got all of that energy. I went on to run a Variety of game convention for 10 years. I started playing True Dungeon in 2007. I was hooked the first time I played. In 2010 I ran into the Team Synergy guys and have enjoyed seeing them and running with this group of folks every year! My goal when I retire, is to volunteer for TD (would love to be a coach), play a lot of Disc Golf, 3D print a lot of things, a make a lot of Cosplay gear.

I have been pretty blessed. I have a great wife of 37 years that has put up with my insanity and I couldn't have done a lot of it without her. That is my resume...

I am probably the only TD player that was sent a Tooth Token with an actual Tooth taped to it... It's my favorite Token in my collection.
