Greetings all!
History: 20 year US Navy veteran, submarines. 11 years working for a major systems design company. Father of two grown sons. Husband to the most incredible and understanding wife in the world. US Air Force Auxiliary Civil Air Patrol retired veteran (retired as a Major). Superhero and comic book aficionado. Founder of Major Deej Universe. Founder, writer, publisher, designer and editor for Major Deej Comics. Now lives in Connecticut.
Spare Time: Writing Major Deej Comics. Building the Major Deej Universe. Computer games: Star Wars: The Old Republic, Civilization V and Marvel Heroes 2016 (or whatever year it is). Watch CW's Flash, Arrow, Legends of Tomorrow, Marvel's Agents of Shield, Agent Carter (this may be its last season), CBS' Survivor and Fox's Gotham. Working on house, yard and trying to figure out how to add 5 more hours in each day.
I started creating superhero and villain characters as early as 6 years of age. Used the Mego-like action figures to create my own adventures, stories and scenarios (included DC and Marvel Mego figures, Big Jim and a couple GI Joes, Six Million Dollar Man and an oddball assortment of other cheap action figures). Imagination fueled each day's play and each day opened up more fun ideas for my figures.
Years went by, reality kicks in. Studies and girls get more important. Joined Civil Air Patrol cadet program, got my pilots license (and eventually glider's license) and made Cadet Lieutenant Colonel before high school graduation in California, my birth state. Joined US Navy, rode subs on/off for 20 years, earned my bachelor's degree during that time in workforce education, retired and went to work with major business as a technical engineer/instructor.
Today, older and body is not what it used to be, thanks to decades of tough environments and knee surgeries. Sons are grown, but still close to us. Started rebuilding my childhood characters once again thanks to being introduced to the MMORPG, City of Heroes. Fell in love with the game. Started recreating and updating old characters. Game shuts down, sadness kicks in. Decided to build Major Deej Universe on a website and hopefully garner enough interest or spare time to write comics about them.
First comic series was under Major Deej Universe Comics line and called "The New Allied Fighters" in 2012. Created 9 issues. Thanks to MMO Comics Index, I was able to have a home for them to be read from (my website SUCKED for uploads, downloads and/or reading PDFs from). Work went into overdrive with lots of travel; stopped writing.
Recently work slowed down enough for me to start writing again. Started new comic line, Major Deej Comics, and started first issue with "Major Deej Universe:Origins" issue 1 in Jan 2016, followed by "Allied Fighters" issue 1 in February.
That's all I got for me. Questions? Comments? Let me know!
By the way, I'm proud to be part of this dedicated group. All who've created and published comics here...its like a think tank of ideas, assistance and support for what we do. Accolades to all who design, write and create on here!
