I would like to introduce myself to
any of those that are interested.
My name is Robert Kuster and I live
in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
I was born in Hamilton (Burlington),
Ontario and lived in Holland for a number of years until finally making
Calgary my home for the last 19 years.
I am happily married and have two great
children (age 23 and 21 now)
Along with my interests in table top
gaming I also enjoy many board games such as Settlers of Catan,
Battlemist, Thunders Edge, Tikal, El Grande
also Dragon Dice, Disk Wars, Vortex, Armada, 40k CCG
Mutant Chronicles, War of the Ring, Twilight
Imperium, Doom the Boardgame.
I also play a lot of computer
games and some of my favorites were Thief,
Hexen, Diablo, Starcraft,
Rune,
Wheel of Time, Quake, Quake arena, Unreal
Tournament ,Blade
of Darkness,Halflife
2.
My musical interests are quite varied
but I usually listen to Tangerine
Dream when I paint miniatures.
I also enjoy Allan
Holdsworth ,
Steve
Morse, Brand X, Bruford,
allot of Jazz Fusion like Al
Dimeola and
John
Mclaughlin and good ol'bands such as Yes
and Genesis. Another
great band I just got into is Waste
Lagoon
from Norway, they have a wicked progressive
style, probably one of the best CD's I have heard in a long time.
Check out their web site where they have 6
full songs to down load and play. Another great artist from Norway is
Ronny Heimdal very much in the style of Holdsworth
and old Bruford LP's. Planet X
is another awesome rock fusion
band that has a very powerful and fast playing
style. I also recently started to get into Dream
Theater who have been
around for a number of years and are an awesome
progressive rock band. I also enjoy Classical, East Indian
Classical and New Age music.
Just wanted to add some more groups
I have been getting into lately and these reflect the fact that I enjoy
very
technical, progressive music and the following
truly reflect that especially a band from Norway called
Spiral
Architect. A couple of others are Symphony
X who are more heavy metal, also Watchtower,
Cynic
and Fates
Warning. Minds Eye,
Threshold,
The
Watch, Scott McGill,
and Cairo.
I use to play Electric Guitar and a
few other instruments a number of years ago. I still strum on an Ibanez
acoustic hat I own. I have included a couple
of photos of when I played in some bands back in the 80's.
The great thing about living in Calgary
is the proximity to the Rocky mountains and I love to camp and hike.
I enjoy getting together at least 3 to 4 times
a week to play some games with some friends or the family and
usually I run GW and other games at
the Sentry Box here in town every Saturday.
My profession at this moment is in Sales
working for Thomas Skinner selling Machines and tooling to the
Machining Industry. I am a machinist by trade
and enjoyed doing that for about 12 years and then worked in
the office as an estimator and purchaser for
about 5 years. I do a lot of traveling which gives me great
flexibility to run all kinds of Outrider events
across Alberta and Saskatchewan.
I also have a strong believe in reincarnation
and truly feel we all have a greater purpose in life. I try to live everyday
as if
its my last so that I know I have no hard
feelings towards anyone. We are here to balance Karma and make our ascension
from the physical realm of existence.
If any one is interested in some of
my spiritual ideas please check

Teachings of the Ascended Masters.
Your Mighty I AM Presence.
