are the bios for Wattographs staff members. The people who bring you
this site are a diverse lot and live -- literally -- all over the planet!
But, the one thing they are all passionate about is authentic Star Wars
autographs!

THE BOSSES |
|
Gary X |
| Known to the rest of
the civilized world as Gary Price, Gary X is one of the foremost
collectors and experts on autographs from the Star Wars
films. He is the founder of Wattographs, having splintered it
off from the highly popular Autograph Central website in 2000. His
Star Wars autograph expertise (and second-to-none rolodex of
Star Wars actors) found Topps Trading Cards calling on him to
help get the 25 signers for their Evolution card set. Gary X
is also the author of the forthcoming Collecting the Autographs
of Star Wars: A Reference Guide. He is also recognized as a
"super collector" contributor to the Star Wars Super Collector's
Wish Book by Todd Carlson, providing autograph pricing and
articles. Gary X handles most site content, celebrity signings and
non-database-related programming. He resides in the Denver,
Colorado area. |

Scott Toth |
|
Scott lives in
Michigan, which is not that bad except for the weather. "I am
actually in a good location for attending conventions and I attend
as many conventions as I can that are within driving distance. I
collect every Star Wars autograph I can from the
actors/actresses to comic artists who have done Star Wars
art. I have branched out into other areas as well. I have quite a
few Star Trek autographs and miscellaneous autographs from
people I really liked in a movie or TV series. I have been
attending conventions since 1994....and they have changed
over the last 13 years." Scott is co-partner of Wattographs'
parent company, Orwell Interactive Media, and handles all
monetary transactions and shipping of Wattographs orders
(among other things). |

universe since. Joel joined the Wattographs staff in Fall, 2005

Christine "Shalla" Murray |
| Shalla got bitten by
the Star Wars bug in 1997 when the Special Edition came
out and she wanted to know what all the fuss was about. Three
weeks and three movies later she knew. The discovery of SW books
and comics along with the internet cemented her into SW fandom.
She currently runs the fan site Like Mother, Like Daughter
and helps out with the HTML code clean-up Wattographs
site. |

Geir Nymo |
| Geir lives on an
island just outside the town of Bergen, Norway. He became a staffer
for Wattographs in summer, 2005, after putting together a
signing with four Norwegians involved in The Empire Strikes Back
as Hoth rebels. These individuals had never done an autograph
signing before. Geir does address research work and celebrity
contact for Wattographs. He's always looking to add to his
collection of Star Wars autographs and collectibles. Geir is
the all-time largest contributor of celebrity addresses to the
Wattographs database and also helps out by chiming in on the
forums, where he's been named official Court Jester. |
