Self taught designer and musician, I've authored articles for industry trade publications and taught for credit college classes and continuing education. I was also a certified firearm instructor at one point. I've been crafting, creating and modifying ever since age two when I disassembled my first wagon and my mother had to epoxy all of the parts so I couldn't take it apart any more. And yes, I still have the habit of disassembling most all of my toys.
