Finding Marvel Comics in the 70’s while living in Bradenton, Florida, Brendan made it his mission to find the back issues and histories of the Marvel Universe through a stack of old Marvel Tales and mail order lists found in comic book ads. In ’78 his family moved to Orlando where he was introduced to Jim Ivey’s Cartoon Museum, Enterprise 1701, and the original Orlando Con, which would provide the comic fix that morphed into the Coliseum chain in ’83 when the Boyle brothers combined their collections. He claims to have been at the table when the first house rule was introduced in D&D. He has recently taken up residence at The Collective, formerly known as the Altamonte Coliseum to pursue a bold new direction in the comic and game industry.

Born in Tampa, Florida, Matt grew up on a variety of comics but ultimately found his favorite in the anti-hero SPAWN. Despite continuing to read SPAWN since the 90’s, in his younger years Matt took an exceptional liking to many different collectible card games, in particular Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh, and Magic the Gathering.  Since the late 90’s, and early 00’s, Matt has been collecting and playing Magic the Gathering regularly.  He is also always willing show new players the way and get them started!
