Name : Gene
Favorite Halo game : ODST, Reach
Occupation :Full-Time Dad used to be an IT professional
Hobbies: Making props/costumes, Xbox/PS3 Gaming
About me : I'm from San Diego, California and a 14 year U.S. Navy veteran where I worked as a jet engine specialist and also worked as a "final checker" (guys in the white jerseys) on an aircraft carrier. In 1997 I separated from the Navy after getting certified in Computer Applications and Networking from Coleman University. I landed a job as a computer operator at the San Diego Super Computer Center UCSD afterwards. My wife and I decided that one of us should stay at home after our second child was born and I won. So that I don't get bored, I started costuming back in 2006 and joined the 501st Legion as a sandtrooper, biker scout, EP3 clonetrooper and ROTJ Boba Fett. I discovered Halo costuming when doing a search for Pepakura files and got hooked after visiting the 405th site. So, I decided to make a Reach UNSC Trooper for starters. But my next Halo costume will be an ODST for sure.

Favorite Halo: ODST or Reach.

Other: Indeed, I'm kid no matter my age. I loved lurking on this site, but I think It's time to gather yet another hobby.

This is my first experience with something of this caliber. I've painted a few surfboards, I make stencils, and, as I reposted above, I'm currently working on painting my XBOX controller. But I've always wanted to do costumes. Just let me know what to do (other than to get cracking' on it! ;])

And hey Dinosaur, my friend is in SD right now probably working on boats or surfboards! Welcome to the forum, from another noob, have you picked out a suit to make yet?
