I was raised in West-Texas farming and ranching country where it was so flat for so long you could see the curvature of the earth. Although living there I know little about ranching or farming since my dad owned an auto salvage yard. So, I grew up with a passion for cars, car modifications and hot-rods. You could say that I have gasoline in my veins, but I also love electric cars! Torque is awesome! My mom was a guiding person in my life and she helped instill values in me that I'm proud of, I can hear her now, "Take those shoes off before you come in the house." or "Never use the word hate." Many years later after taking a few college courses I was visiting my sister in California for vacation and found myself drawn to it because of the wonderful weather! I mean I could actually wear shorts during the middle of winter! My sister taught me how to relax in life, if she didn't I would probably be a grumpy single old man sitting in some stuffy office with no window hunched over a computer all day.

After getting a later start on college than the normal student, I graduated, met a lot of great friends in school, got married, after working several kick ass jobs, I'm now on the hunt again for that new job that will take me and the next place to new levels!

I'm always learning and building things in my personal life. I have undertaken learning the ins and outs of 3d printing. I have a heavily modified 3D printer. I plan to start making some car parts as one-offs and maybe a small manufacturing of parts as a side gig.

I also have a huge love for building. My first job ever was when I was 12 years old. I would ride my bike to the site location where we would be putting on A frame roofs onto a bunch of flat top roofs. This sparked an interested for me that has stood the test of time. I now follow builders on Youtube just as a hobby to learn and be entertained. I hope to soon build a concrete counter top and maybe a backyard coffee table out of concrete. Learn and Make is a mantra I will always follow in life.
