Izzy, Is He?

Israel Smith on a Hotel Window Ledge

As Pan-Mysterious as he is Pan-Intelligent

Putting the MAN in Humanitarian for Nearly 30 Years


Self-styled Master of his own Destiny his Accomplishments are many

You may very well already know me as I’ve been around the block so to speak.

Roots

I grew up in St. Charles, IL and worked/played/studied all over the Chicagoland Suburbia from Dekalb to Mundelein, from Algonquin to Joliet.

Work / Education

I attended DeVry University worked at several Computer Game companies include WebFoot Technologies where I worked on the DragonBall Z games that were being developed there. I was in the US ARMY as a Bradley Linebacker Crewmember, stayed at Ft. Irwin, Ft. Hood, Ft. Bliss, Ft. Polk, Ft. Jackson, FSB, Crestwood Armoury and was in OIF3.

Conventions

Convention wise I’ve been part of booths at E3 (Electronic Entertainment Expo – back when it was cool), I’ve staffed at NekoCon, KatsuCon, Anime Mid-Atlantic, and Anime Central. I’ve made an incredible amount of great friends doing the con-circuit, some of the best people I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting in my life. I used to attend GenCon before WoTC bought them up, amongst others.

Do Izzy Do

I’ve worked across many different fields all over the US, from west-coast to east-coast. These days you can usually catch me in Phoenix, AZ – Las Vegas – or Chicagoland. Right now I’m currently involved (work-wise) in Marketing, Web-Application Development, and Revenue Sharing Planning. On my off-time I like to do Mountain Hiking, Mountain Climbing, Travel, Reading, Social Recreation, Studying Language (Spanish, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Tagalog, Portuguese, Latin), playing Video Games and going to Mylie Cyrus concerts obviously taking pictures … you know, the whole photography thing?
