Gerdazech aka Trapa is an [[African Civet]] who is based in British Columbia and attends a number of [[convention]]s. He has long had a character on [[The Lion King MUCK]], and his [[fursuit]] character is '''Gerdazech''' the civet. On April 14th 2007 at 9:04pm, Trapa lost his natural father to cancer. On June 13th 2008 he graduated university with a [[Wikipedia:Bachelor's degree|Bachelor's degree]] in Computer Information Systems, specializing in both networking and security.

== Conventions and planned events ==
[[Image:Califur 2006 Gerdazech.JPG|right|thumb|'''Gerdazech''' at [[Califur 2006]]]]
=== Califur ===
From the birth of [[Califur]] to October 2008, Trapa was the co-chair of Califur. In this role he helps to plan the convention and maintains the operations side of the convention planning. Through his efforts many of his friends and his furry family have ended up on the staff of Califur.

=== RainFurrest ===
In 2006, Trapa agreed to try to help Seattle have a convention again. He worked very hard on starting up the convention called [[RainFurrest]], which he co-chaired in 2007. Gene, the other co-chair of RainFurrest, announced that Trapa would be the chair of RainFurrest in 2008.

=== Califur Train trip ===
For 2005 to 2008 Trapa orchestrated [[Califur Train]] which was a group train trip to and from Califur for furries from the North to make it to Califur.

=== FC Van Trip ===
Each year Trapa also orchestrates the [[Further Confusion]] van trip. The trip started the first year as a group of four furries renting a car to head to California. The second year of the trip it was 6 furries in a rental van. The third year it was 12 furs in two vans. The fourth year was 20 furries in 4 rental vans. The van trip website is at [http://trapa.pawprinting.org/ FC Van Trip Website]
=== Howloween ===
Trapa performed the task of registration for [[Howloween]] one year, it turned out to be a very informative beta for his registration software.

== Furry business ventures ==
[[Image:FC 2008 Hoikaro.JPG|left|thumb|'''Hoikaro''' at [[Further Confusion 2008]]]]
===Civet Radio And Wireless Rental (C-RAWR)===
Trapa has spend a great deal of time and money on getting radios for the conventions and for his hobbies. He can barely leave the house in a group without having a bunch of radios on paw. He at some point decided that he was going to start a company that rents radios to conventions and so far has only done a couple of rentals. He is working on trying to manufacture custom headsets for radios that never came with headsets so that the conventions will have more private radio activity.

The majority of the radio fleet consists of Kenwood Tk-330 UHF radios, and some Motorola radios tossed in. He is also working on building repeaters and extended range cross band repeaters so that convention staffers can keep in contact with off-site staff miles away.

===Paw Printing===
Trapa started the business [[Paw Printing]] to help artists sell their artwork. Profits from sales of artwork would attempt to cover costs of going to conventions.
===Northwest Furry Productions===
[[Northwest Furry Productions]] was a fursuiting business that Trapa started with [[Scribblefox]]. Trapa originally got Scribblefox to help him out with his fursuit, and when he saw how talented Scribblefox was the two decided to start a business. Named Northwest Furry Productions, the two started a fairly successful fursuit business producing the most realistic fursuits of the era. The business lasted only three years till the two broke up and the business was dissolved.

==Radio==
Trapa is a certified amateur radio operator and instructor in Canada, with a callsign of VA7TLK. He purchased several radios over time so that the conventions he runs didn't have to. After he got to 40 radios he decided to start a business called CRAWR (Civet Radio and Wireless Rentals) that rents radios to furry and science fiction conventions.

Trapa has all the equipment needed to repair and maintain many two way radios and does offer his services at near-free prices to any other furries out there. He has next set his sights on making two new radio projects, getting a centracom repeater for con operation. The other project is now known as the triangle repeater, which is a combination of a UHF duplex repeater, and a VHF simplex radio as part of the repeater, thus allowing simultaneous dual band and in band repeating. This could prove to be useful to allow on site staff to talk to remote people running errands.
