Welcome to my "Personal Info" page! I must have really piqued your curiosity on the main page for you to come here! Anyway, as I have already mentioned, Tigmo is not my real name. Although many friends and family members call me by my nickname these days, my real name is actually Matthew Hull. I was born in Nashville, Tennessee, raised in Fairfield, Ohio (30-45 minutes north of Cincy), and spent my high school/college years in Indiana. I graduated from Indiana Wesleyan University in April of 2004 (Summa Cum Laude baby!!) and currently reside with my family in Cottonwood, Arizona of all places. I am 29 years old and am around 5'11". Hmm...I actually sound normal don't I?
You're probably wondering how a normal Midwesterner such as myself could earn a nickname as obscure as Tigmo aren't you? I could be mean and keep quiet just for the sake of mystique and all but, since several of you have inquired about this over the years, I will be nice and tell you the story. Ever since I can remember, I have always seemed to have more energy than your average lad. I would always run to my destination (walking was completely out of the question), jump on my bed, and just bounce around on the living room furniture (I don't recommend that last one!) For some odd reason, I just never seemed to get tired! Even though some of my friends could run faster than me (they can't anymore...heh, heh, heh!!), they simply didn't have the endurance. So while they would be all worn out and just trying to get a breather, there I would be bouncing around and tearing across the house like a maniac!
Which brings us to my nickname. You can probably see why I was christened Sir Tigmo can't you? Think about it! Who bounces around incessantly and has ridiculous amounts of energy all the time? You've got it! Tigger!! Well, don't ask me why but for some odd reason, my Dad began to jokingly call me Tigmo instead of Tigger. Perhaps it was for originality's sake; whatever the reason, the name stuck and remains my most prominent nickname to this day! Although I have had other nicknames such as "Slasher" (I can thank my speed for this one.), "The Incredible Hull" (You don't want to see me when I get angry...lol!), "Mr. Nintendo" (Self-explanatory), and "Sexy Stud" (Do I really need to explain this one?), "Tigmo" has been the mainstay. Tigmo is included in the title of this website, my email address, my eBay User ID; heck, even my password at work includes my legendary nickname! Tigmo is gradually becoming one popular guy! :)
If you want to learn even more about me, check out the links below! "The Question" might be the most intriguing section. It begins with a strange encounter between myself and "The Question." I then go on to discuss what "The Question" is along with the Answer! I really encourage you to at least give it a spin.
If you feel down and depressed and need some hope and inspiration in your life, "The Glory Years" section is a guaranteed cure! In this section, I recount the story of my countless attempts at realizing my childhood dream: to become a basketball star! You'll get to learn a lot about my past and see how my journey involved a lot of adversity. Check it out if you feel like everyone in your life is against you.
The "Mr. Nintendo" section is the most lighthearted area of the three. It is here that I discuss my favorite pastime: playing video games! Some of my best memories include playing games with friends and cousins; you just can't beat nostalgia. This section should help stir up some of those great memories from the good ole' eighties. Contra and Mega Man 2 baby!
Aside from the three aforementioned areas, I have also recently added a link to my own personal page on MySpace! I just recently got into the MySpace groove and have really had an enjoyable time meeting new friends and just playing with my page layouts/pics and whatnot. I have several pictures of yours truly posted here at well so if you're just dying to know what Tigmo looks like in the flesh, you finally have your chance! ;) Also, I do have a Facebook page but it's set to "Private" so you'll need to search for "Matthew Hull" to find me.
Anyway, since a multitude of you have requested that I post pictures here ever since the website's inception, I finally decided to give in. It only took me ten years after all...ha, ha, ha! In any case, do check out the pictures below! They are all thumbnails so just click on them if you want to see the normal versions. My brother Nathan is in the third one below and my wonderful girlfriend Sandy is in the last one. That one of me holding Mega Man 5 was taken right after I got the game as a surprise gift back in 1992 btw! Let me know if you'd all like me to post more pictures!
