I grew up in a small mountain town and from the start was working on machines with my dad who is a welder/equipment operator/mechanic/self-taught engineer/etc. He taught me much of what he knows, but at least gave me the tools to understand my world. For some reason, I went to college and got degrees in physics and mathematics even though I love building things with my hands. By day, I sit in front of a computer and build missiles. By night, I hope to weld, scrub grease, machine parts, or anything of that nature. I have spent a considerable amount of time and money trying to build up a formidable fabrication shop, but I now realize you are always one tool behind what you need.
I am obsessed with vehicles. I have had it all from fast German cars, to rc cars, to killer mt bikes, to sweet motocross bikes. My current obsession is building a capable trail rig and this is its story.
