Occupation: Journeyman Carpenter with a degree in advertising design. I'm a very good artist I can draw almost anything. When I got out of school i worked for a design firm in O,fallon IL and I got bored and tired of sitting behind a desk most of the day. I've always been hands on and very mobile at work and me and the desk just didn't cut it so I joned the carpenters union in 1999 and I like my job but my first love is art so I hope to get back. I really like building things, especially when the job is done and now it's a permanent structure and you can sya you helped build that. What a good feeling! Ive also had some good accomplishments in art also I one 2 place in the us congressional art show once. I one 1 place in about 10 shows and numerous honarable mentions and merit awards.

History: I worked out cars with my Dad most of the time but i was the guy that just held things and passed the tools.
I was in love with the countah up until I saw the diablo, It was like love at irst site. I knew in this lifetime I would never be able to afford one so I just dreamed and bought models, next thig you Know I'm collecting models of all kinds of exotic cars. Surfing the net one day i came across Dale's site and he was building the car I always wanted. I never knew they made kits up until then. From that moment I set out on a quest to build one of my on. i started researching taking notes here and there and then a year passed and I finally bout a fiero and the dream begins...
I Love cars (I hope to design m own) but i don't no too much about them besides the basics, So now begins the learning process, I had to learn how to weld ,which isn't that hard once you get it down. Now I have to learn to do everything else and if I can't do it I'll get the right person to do it.
