About Me


I love motorcycles. None of that Harley Davidson Crap for me as I like to go fast. Often on Sundays you will find me (wait till spring in Chicago) jumping my FZR600 (my R6 stays in the garage) up and off curbs. I ride it like a dirt bike unless of course there is a girl on the back.
I often ride wheelies for 2 hrs at a time down Randolph, Green Street, Peoria to relieve stress. Neighbors can go to the suburbs if they complain or hell. Randolph and green is where the deeplabs and design engine office is. Maybe I am just a little board with life or I need a little more stimulation.
Motorcycles are a big part of breaking the boring for me. I did race the expert class in Motorcross growing up... So I tend to be quite a bit more aggressive than other track time riders... Track Days help me set a faster pace... pun intended. I try to out brake the others and sometimes that messes me up for the turn. Now I learned how to commit to the turn no matter how fast I come into her. The image below is from my third track day ever. I am on eight track days now and I am told my laptimes at Black Hawk Farms are still 10 seconds off the fastest white plate pro's. Ten seconds is a long time too. I do learn fast. I have so much more still to learn which means I can go so much faster. So my goal is to make up those seconds before this time next year.

Design-engine.com and deeplabs.com
I do love my work with the Chicago company Design Engine Inc. which operates many business units: deeplabs.com that is a product design firm. deepinteractive.com a graphic firm. A magazine about product design called http://www.Design-engine.com and a product design school called Design Engine Education http://www.Design-engine.com and a product design school called Design Engine Education Pro/E Training where we Maya Training and Pro/E Training pay the bills. We think of ourselves as the empowering company because we empower so many design and engineering firms, manufactures and individuals. Five pages of press for the school Design Engine: DE PRESS
The company I work for deepLABS and deep interactive creates all kinds of ID or engineered products and designed graphics. I have worked on hundreds of products from Scuncii hair combs, Jet Airplane parts for various military suppliers (General Atomics), Cab of the Challenger Tractor (CATERPILLAR), Yamaha Accessories, and the foodloop. http://www.foodloop.com
As a part of a team at deepLABS I design Furniture, flatware, and just about anything I set my/our mind to. Moto Restaurant is about the coolest shit ever. http://www.motorestaurant.com

My Interests

Track Day Road Racing, Skateboarding as of late since we got a half pipe next door.Motorcycles - world travel (for trade shows) because I hate vacations and sightseeing! God shoot the tourist! - Design and engineering - 2$ pints at Estelle’s on Tuesday night and Breakfast in other major cities besides Chicago. Moto Restaurant and Otom Lounge in Chicago. Drinks at Moto and Otom are out of this world. Other times you will find me working at a Chicago cafe like Marshall McGearty in Milwaukee in the afternoons often till very late or Sip Cafe on Grand in the mornings. (if I'm in Chicago)I raced Motocross growing up so that defined me as a bit outgoing. “if you don’t fall your not going fast enough. I raced the A class until the age of 18.
I often think of Chicago as too conservative. See… I grew up in the southern part of the United States with a Dad that loved me and extreme sports. I have a motocross track set up in the City called “contractor parking’ It is gravel and the bums throw rocks at me because I make too much noise. I have no real heart for the homeless because of these rock throwing incidents. That’s my dirt track not their home!
I like throwing water out the sixth floor window onto neighbors. And if I could direct those bottle rockets better I would enjoy trying to nail the open windows across from the Chicago Design-engine.com office. Since we have a half pipe the skate boarding has been full on. It is a little cold in our secondary loft party house so skate boarding is not high priority.
My main interest is helping people. The best way for me to do that is by helping degreed engineers or industrial designers to communicate in three dimensions by learning Pro/ENGINEER or sometimes called proe. We also teach Maya and Alias Studio. For more on alias maya, or proe training proe training at design engine.

I'd like to meet:

People as passionate as I am and girls that are on the tough side. I like them soft too but not too soft. I like girls who don't mind a bruises and a little blood sometimes. I fell in love with an Olympic snow skier once. She was fast. Problem was everyone loved her and ... well you know.
People that want to learn Pro/ENGINEER. I work for Design Engine which specializes in Pro/E Training at http://www.proetools.com is top notch. proe training at Design Engine Education.
Did you know that Cobra Lounge Chicago was designed using Pro/ENGINEER software? Design Engine does quite a bit more than just Pro/ENGINEER training too. Learn Maya or SolidWorks. We also run a product design firm called deepLANS where we design everything from closet storage, electronics, food products to now parts of airplanes.
The below animation was created using Maya software the same software that gets an academy award each year.

Music:

breakebeat from http://www.epitonic.com U2

Movies:

Clockwork Orange - Henry and June in French - (teach me about movies). Azumi Japanese fighting movies only in Japanese and 'Once Upon a Time in the West' By Sergio Loene. I download all my movies with emule.
I am too busy with the life of Bart: a movie in my head.
Chris Rubeo made a move loosely based on me. I am the bad guy. http://www.haleboppmovie.com

Television:

seldom do I watch a boob tube and if I do I download star trek off the internet. Modern Marvels on the History Channel is cool.
I like Wikipedia better than TV.

Books:

I like to read really long instruction manuals on Maya for Windows and Macintosh V8 .... I read "Flow - The Psychology of Optimal Experience" by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
National Geographic......This profile was edited with MySpace Help - Profile Creator and Editor MySpace Profile Help!

Heroes:

Rollen Brejcha my Dad... He raced Motocross in the sixties. He taught me how to paint my first motorcycle trailer and shoot the head out of a Ben Franklin with a bow and arrow. I taught him how to sky dive and use Pro/ENGINEER. He taught me how to split the case on a dirt bike and to shoot a gun and to race motorcycles. He hates it when I ride wheelies but I can't help it.
