Perro is a furry artist and fursuit maker, who lives in Lombard, Illinois, United States.

[edit] History

Perro first became interested in anthropomorphic animals at age fifteen, from watching cartoon characters and werewolves in the media. When he began to explore the internet, he discovered the already-established online furry community, and began conversing with other furs worldwide.

After taking a two-year break from the fandom, he returned in 2002, at which point he began to attend furry cons and organize local meets in North Carolina.

In 2004, he moved from Charlotte, NC, to Chicago. He and his boyfriend, Wolphy, have been together for four years (as of September, 2007) and share a house together with their whiny German Shepherd, Chaos. Perro works in downtown Chicago, enjoys volunteering for Wolf Park, exploring the outdoors, cycling, scuba diving, skiing, traveling, working on car audio projects and beer.

In 2006, Perro served as Assistant Programming Director at Midwest FurFest and took over as Programming Director for Midwest FurFest 2007. He continues as Programming Director and is now Vice-Chair of Midwest FurFest 2008.^[1]

Perro is usually found in IRC channels of Anthrochat and attends some of the events sponsored by the LAFF group.
