Name: Preston Thorne
Profession: Technical Support Manager at Epic Games
Age: 36
Favorite Hobby: Video Games, Reading, and Costuming
Favorite part of Halo: Story and Universe. I actually spend more time with the books etc. than playing the game.
Favorite Halo: 4
Favorite Video Games: Mass Effect, Gears of War, and Halo series. Mario Brothers, Dragon Quest, Star Fox, and Blaster Master back in the "old days".
Other Interests: My kids and family. 4 kids now and I love spending time with them and even costuming with them.
Favorite Food: Sushi, Steak, Boston Cream Pie
Favorite Movie(s): The Fifth Element, LOTR, Indiana Jones, Avengers series

I've been playing Halo since Halo 1, even played that competitively in local competitions (back in the days before Xbox live existed).
I was involved in the I Love Bees promotion for Halo 2:
http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Preston_Thorne_(character)
http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Preston_Thorne_(player)
which is actually what finally convinced me to follow my dreams into the video gaming industry (and out of semiconductors).

My love of costuming was reignited when I picked up a set of Gears armor from the guys at Nightmare Armor and saw the fans reaction to it at DragonCon 2010 http://epicgames.com/community/2011/07/marcus-and-anya-cosplay-featuring-preston-thorne/
This last DragonCon I went as Dr. Adam Fenix as well as Joker from Mass Effect with my wife and baby EDI and our Normandy Stroller http://epicgames.com/community/2012/09/epic-games-at-dragoncon-2012-recap/
I've loved getting my kids involved in costuming as well: http://kotaku.com/5957459/epic-kids-are-a-paragon-of-mass-effect-cosplay
And I love helping others to build their armor: http://epicgames.com/community/2012/08/epic-gamers-onyx-guard-cosplay/

I finally decided to join the 405th and get my own Mjolnir armor done now that Halo 4 is focusing so much on Gabriel Thorne (who is obviously a desendant of mine https://twitter.com/weephun/status/269283371870466048 ;)
I'll be working with ka5p3r on that armor.

I'm also currently working on a steampunk Thor, Siri from Infinity Blade, and hope to eventually put together enough skills to pull off a Mass Effect Geth Prime.

It's also great to see there's a good Gears of War costuming group on here as well. Hopefully I can help with that.

Can't wait to work with everyone here. As you can guess with my job and large family I don't have a ton of time for hanging out on forums, but I'll try and be as active as possible.
