I've met several celebrities during my life. When I was five I walked past the Beatles as they strolled along the Atlantic City Boardwalk. Too bad I didn't know about autographs!

I attended religious school with Jay Greenspan, better known as Jason Alexander from Seinfeld.

I met Robert Wuhl (Arli$$, The Bodyguard, Batman, Bull Durham) twice at a comedy club. He lived in an apartment until he was five. When his family moved out, my family moved in.

Today my celebrities are the people who are involved in different aspects of videogames. I have been lucky enough to meet many of them as these photographs attest.
