About Me

"Cupcake" appetizer
born april 2 1973 i dont really remember the event but i swear i was there! i grew up in a small shoreline town in Ct where i would skateboard about the streets being harassed by the man. I attended the legendary Essex Sattalite Vinal technical school,here i studied violence, hazing, tool and die making, and learned why drugs are bad. somehow heavymetal and a machine shop went hand in hand and i began to hang out with some dudes who were in a metal band. anybody feel like smashing somthing? well you can only act like an ass for so long before you gotta grow up, unless of course you get rich and famous acting like an ass. what did i want to be when i grow up tho? i dont know i just want to make some really cool stuff and have as much fun as i can while im here to enjoy it. in 1994 i had the opportunity to purchase the machine shop i was working at...so i did. now i can make what ever i want to when ever i want to. i choose to make stringed instruments for those who are gifted enough to make music. yea i could make alot more money making implements of war,but i get so much more out of the music then the war
