Desktop Support Technician by day ... Occasional hired gun rock drummer by night ... DIY home improvement enthusiast on weekends - maker of whatever I can imagine in between it all. I'm also a professional level napper. I have a full workshop in my basement, which continuously evolves, as does my interests and skill level. I enjoy making/building/assembling custom drums, creating jigs, random small projects, costumes and props, and long walks on the beach. I'm lying about that last part ......
