I'm a Georgia native and have lived here all my life- except for 3 looooong months I spent in New York City.  I've always had an interest in how things work.  I loved to take stuff apart even at a young ago and if there were a few extra pieces left over when I put stuff back together, it must have been a flaw in the original design.

About me

I've been building and tinkering for as long as I can remember.

When I was 12 I would sneak into my grandfather's dentist office when it was closed and play in his lab with the dental plaster, the mercury, and the X-Ray machine.

At 13 I received my novice ham radio license, at 14 a motorcycle license, and at 16 my private pilot's license.

As an adult I've been doing online marketing full time since the mid-80s way before the World Wide Web was around.

I'm also an award winning independent filmmaker. I wrote and produced a feature film, Lynch Mob, starring a couple of series regulars from The Sopranos. Only 1 out of every 2,500 independent films gets a nationwide theatrical release and we were lucky enough to get theatrical distribution.

Our special effects and props builder on the film was Roy Wooley who is now doing special effects work for The Hunger Games and Avenger Series. He was also a runner up and fan favorite on the TV show Face-Off.

Recently I pre-orderd a Tabby EVO kit. It's an open source street legal electric car. It looks like it will be a year before it's available but I look forward to building it.
