My pictures from the Star Wars Celebration in Denver, CO April 29 - May 2, 1999 I also went to Celebration II (2002) and III (2005) in Indianapolis and Celebration IV (2007) in Los Angeles

I am a long-standing member of the MidSouth Garrison of the 501st Legion.

I have two white armor trooper suits. The one pictured below is a "Marco" and was my first. It's much older and made of heavy fiberglass. I purchased it from a collector in Texas in October 1995. I also got a metal Sterling stormtrooper blaster rifle from the same guy. My newer suit is of the ABS plastic variety. I got it in 1998 from Armor FX. It's much lighter and more accurately molded. My best friend Chip has a suit, also.

I also completed my biker scout costume in time for DragonCon 2006.

Here I am with my best friend Chip (TK-909). These are the newer Armor FX suits. Yes we are geeks and wear our armor out to parties and club nights that we sponsor.

This pic is one that I did in Photoshop of me and Chip.

Here I am with Darth Vader himself: David Prowse at Star Wars Celebration One in Denver 1999. From left to right are John F. (my friend who is in the Starwoids DVD with me), Dave G., David Prowse, Greg G., and me. Dave and Greg are brothers and were the coolest people I met at Celebration 1.

Here I am at Celebration II in Indianapolis in 2002 with the rest of the 501st Legion:

And again at Celebration III in 2005:

Some videos of me in my trooper suit from various places/times:

Entertainment Tonight #1 1999 from Celebration 1 in Denver - about 2/3 through you'll see me in my trooper suit saying "I'm from Tennessee".

Entertainment Tonight #2 1999 from Celebration 1 in Denver - same thing again, different edit. My buddy Greg is talking about building a saber.

The trailer for Starwoids About halfway through you'll see me from the back walking with my buddy John. We are featured on the Starwoids DVD - we are standing in the rain at Celebration 1 in Denver, and John is interpreting for me since the camera mic won't pick up my voice from inside the helmet (this was before I discovered voice amplification).

CNN Entertainment News from Celebration 1 in Denver 1999 - about 2/3 into the clip, you'll see two troopers and Vader - I'm the one stepping up and waving my hand... "Move along".
