*** A quick summary overview of The Dags ***

Dags is a mega cool dude who resides in Melbourne Australia. Although generally unknown to world at large (for now), he does have some small claims to fame.

Aside from once being a serious Batman merchandise collector, (refer to the Batman Collection page for more details) Dags has been involved in his local science fiction fan community since 1984 which has seen him run his own convention, edit his own newsletter, make his own costumes, produce and direct his own fan film, and he once even ran his own club - so you can kinda say he's been around a bit.

Dags was also a co-founder of Star Walking Inc: the Star Wars Appreciation society of Australia back in 1988 and worked on the committee until 2011 (that's 23 years folks) when he decided to retire. Having been involved with Star Walking, which is now the longest running unofficial fan club in the world, Dags was able to achieve a lot in the Star Wars fan community, including:

- Visiting Skywalker Ranch in 1993 (look there he is! Second from the left)

- Appear on TV game shows Family Feud and 1 vs 100 as well as march in the 2009 Moomba parade

- Help organise a large number of Star Wars conventions and themed banquets

- Appear in a number of costumed product launches and gala events

- Appear in the internationally released Star Wars documentary The Phandom Menace which presented The Dags with his first entry onto the IMDB

But the life of The Dags doesn't just revolve solely around Star Wars oh no, no, no. In recent years The Dags has been pursuing one of his greatest passions, film making, under the banner of his own production company DMFilms.

It's this passion that has allowed The Dags to create a number of short films whilst helping others with their productions as well - including some professionally paid ones.

In his normal life (yes he does have one), The Dags lives in a modest three bedroom home which contains a room full of Batman merchandise, 8 bookcases, 2 lounge suites, his wonderful other half (Lynne) and his adorable cat (Lulu).

Blessed with an array of great friends and supporters, Dags acknowledges the three loves of his life - besides Lynne and Lulu:

1) His house (officially named Sylvia but more commonly known as The Dag House)

2) His bed - as Dags says "I never met a sleep-in I didn't like"

3) His car - affectionately known as The Darth - complete with SITH number plates which are his prized possession.

There's a lot more exciting stuff to say about our ever popular Dags, but we suggest you check out the Who is Dags section of this site for that.
