Star Army is my passion. Growing up I became fan of science fiction through reading books and watching Star Trek. When I was in high school I was introduced to anime and roleplaying games and started running games with my friends and family.

By 2003, the community around that universe had grown to the point we needed our own website, so I created StarArmy.com.
