[SirPalesAlot]

Name - Matt Morrow

Age - 26

Location - Phenix City AL / Columbus GA

Occupation - CAD/CAM Programming and Design

About me - I've always had a thing for building stuff. I joined the site after looking for some Halo costumes online way back when. When I saw Adam's suit back then I knew I had to make one of my own. It's been a few years since then, and here I am still lacking in the suit department lol. I have a handful of hobbies that take up my time, but I'm trying to get more into working on costumes.


Favorite Conventions (where we can most likely meet up with you) - I haven't been to many conventions so I can't say I have a favorite yet. I live in close proximity to Atlanta/Montgomery/Birmingham so any contentions in those areas would be easy to attend.
