Vic Walter has been working in Anime Central’s Press Room as DH since 2006, but he has staffed the con in various positions since 2004.  He’s seen it all, and has seen the growth in the industry, as well as it’s every changing face.

Now with ACen heading into it’s 12^th with even more changes taking place (can we say economy anyone?) Vic gives us a shout out about the Midwest’s biggest anime convention. So we asked Vic, what in the world made him volunteer for ACen? It’s difficult just being an attendee at any con as it is… Vic smiled at us first, as if Vic smiled at us first, as if he had some secret formula up his sleeve, then he settled back in his chair and told us kids a story.

“I first attended ACen in 2003 as a press member, and as a relationship grew with the old press DH, who was also taking the duties of Marketing Chief, I took interest in staffing. I did end up working Video Services in 2004 but was far from happy about many aspects of that situation. I won't go into details on the whys or who's but I still had interest in staffing so I transferred to the Press Department as an Assistant DH and eventually ended up where I am today.”
