About Me


This profile was edited with mywickedspace.com Editor
I'm not much of a self describer without some sort of a guide line, But here is my attempt. I'm a 31 year old father of one daughter. I currently attend OCC, (but will be transfering to Parkland in the Spring of '07) Where as I am persueing an Associates of Applied Science Degree in Custom Automotive Fabrication. My career plans are to continue my education towards the side of Complete Fabrication. Upon graduation from Parkland College-I shall futher my customization skills via attending various schools thru out the United States that are point objective. In no particular order- I will attend WYOTECH,in Sacramento,CA. for STREET ROD&CUSTOM FABRICATION.(shall learn custom metal fabrication and custom paint(airbrush,pin stripping,ect.)I shall also attend ACOUSTIC EDGE in Oklahoma City,OK. This is where I will add to my current knowledge of car audio sytems. Will learn more audio tricks,(various box building designs,Fiber-glassing),as well as learn the ins and outs of custom interiors(design,construction,and installation). Will also learn all there is to know about mobile navigation and alarm systems. I've been told that this site was a great place for old friends as well as new ones to come meet. So here I am. I'm not aware of many old friends that are on here so that leaves me to make new ones. Should you care to chat sometime feel to message me, send an add request, or even add me to yahoo...
