Greg Weisman, Greg Bishansky and Jennifer L. Anderson in Greg W's "Spectacular Spider-Man" office.

I am a co-administrator of this site, and a fan of "Gargoyles" since October 24th, 1994.

Bio

I have been a constant participant in the fandom since 1997, and attended my first Gathering in 1998. Since then I have written fanfiction, served a stint as the Head of Edits for The Gargoyles Saga fanfiction series for a few years, and have attended eleven out of the thirteen Gatherings.

In 2003, I decided to try my hand at running a Gathering, and I think it came out quite well. After swearing a blood vow never to do it again, I joined the staff of the Tenth Annual Gathering of the Gargoyles in Valencia, California and the Twelfth Annual Gathering in Chicago, Illinois. I am truly proud to have been a part of that, and was on staff for the 13th Annual Gathering of the Gargoyles in Los Angeles, California. http://www.gatheringofthegargoyles.com

Anyone who knows me, even vaguely, knows that my favorite character in the series is Demona. But, make no mistake, I am by no means a Demona-Apologist.

Outside of "Gargoyles", I study film and work as a producer. I'm developing a feature tentatively titled, "The Cleansing." Coming to a theater near you... hopefully some time in our lifetimes. I've also got several other scripts in the works.

My credits so far include the student short, Outrageou$ Fortune and Production Assistant of an as yet untitled internet pilot with Sean Patrick Flannery (star of the "Young Indiana Jones Chronicles"). I have also produced Life As A House and was a Production Assistant on American Beauty. I worked as a Production Assistant on "The John Kerwin Show" and "The Grover Complex."

My creative influences are Martin Scorsese; Alfred Hitchcock; Francis Ford Coppola; Quentin Tarantino; Stanley Kubrick; Joss Whedon; J. Michael Straczynski; Ridley Scott; the Coen Brothers; oh, and of course, Greg Weisman.

I had a brief job as Norman Osborn's chauffeur, but after the second accident right at the toll booth, I was promptly fired. Worst chauffeur ever.

After 14 years, I've found a use for my VHS of "The Goliath Chronicles." Propping up my air conditioner so coolant doesn't leak in and ruin my carpet.

I also have a special seat reserved in Hell for watching "Inglourious Basterds" with a twelve-year-old girl. She thought Aldo was funny.
