Born in Austin Texas, moved to California in early teens, spent a year in Germany before returning to Austin area for High School. Went to college in Austin as well at both ACC and UT. After graduating with a BS in Civil Engineering he worked in the Denver area two years before deciding he didn't like the employment path of years of being an apprentice for years. Quit, spent a year in San Jose CA working on a fighting robot (battlebot) project with an old buddy by night and working as a machinist by day. Returned to Texas to be near family as he started to undergo the epigenetic shift to a Dwarf. Currently doing contract work as a machinist, mechanical engineer and builder of weird crap.
