About Me

I'm a regular guy who likes life, enjoys as much as I can, and tries to keep from getting into to much trouble. LOL Although that's not as much fun as actually getting into that trouble in the first place..............Used to design Disaster Communication plans and system...to allow you to talk no matter what the hell is happening in your world. Still consult in that space. Spent 8 years in the Active Army WO2 and 6 in reserves, Speak 5 languages, and travelled the world. Now I work at Oracle in Contract and Vendor Management (high end purchasing LOL) go figure..............As a Hobby I design custom cars. So far most are best of show winners (One I keep trying to drive off a bridge so it can never be found again) Sorry Bob, LOL what? Was that my out loud voice? I don't build them, I don't do the paint, but like a good project manager - I put the package togeather, find the people to do the work, and make sure it gets done right. PLUS I have a talent for hot but Unique styles. You want it TRULY Unique it MUST be different then everyone elses. I just have a good eye for unusual looks that flow togeather. I know a lot of people in the industry and can sometime make special arrangements for you. To date mostly i've just had a few friends ask me to put some ideas togeather for them and the ideas have worked. Ultimately I'd love to work in the car or automotive marketing industry. Just love cars and the crazy things you can do with them..................I have a great Girlfriend. Yes I love her, No i'm not available. The women you see on this page are for the most part models for car shows, A few are coworkers and the rest are celebs (or maybe celebs' admins) thier fan sites, or people pretending to be celebs lol. The Cars are fellow Car buff's and dudes that just dig the car. I also love music. Always like to hear a new sound.................This particular car seems to be appealing to everyone and is getting a tremendous amount of publicity so I guess it's a good thing. That's mainly due to the Artist - Mike Lavallee- of Overhauling, Monster Garage, Miami Ink, etc...Fame. He painted the flames and it's his great work that gets so much attention I just thought of the Idea, Mike made it reality...........
