Why do you want to join Autograph Live?

My children, really. They both love getting autographs, and it's been a lot of fun getting them with them. We've made a lot of memories collecting autographs over the years.

Who can we thank for telling you about us?

I found the site by googling.

What are your areas of interest?

Sports, History/Politics, Books/Literature, Modern Hollywood and Stage, Classic Hollywood and Stage, Music, SciFi, Horror, Space/Aviation/Military

Why do you collect?

My kids are 20 and 7. I have so many great memories of my daughter getting a ball signed, my son meeting "Freddy Kreuger." When they look back after I'm gone, i know they will both remember all the great times we had- and the autographs leave something tangible, something they can hold and remember.

What is your favorite autograph in your collection?

While i was deployed, I was sent an autographed copy of Chuck Palahniuk's Fight Club. He wrote something along the lines of "leave the sand behind and come home safely." It really meant a lot to me.

You can ask anyone living or dead for their autograph. Who would it be?

Chesty Puller. I'm a Marine...
