About me

Gender Male
Location Botany, Auckland, New Zealand
Introduction Trained as a Jeweller after severing a tendon I sought retraining in the electronics and computer industry. Ever since my parents can remember I have always had an inventive streak and enjoyed creating things. They say that instead of purchasing normal toys like other kids they used to purchase old valve radios for me to tinker with however they were surprised when i started to get them working again. I have enjoyed some of the non mainstream hobbies such as Blacksmithing and combined it with other skills such as woodwork to create some unique and functional things such as a beer fridge made from Kwilla and hand forged steel.
Interests Steampunk, Electronics, Metalwork, Art, Practical Science
Favorite Movies Its hard to point the finger at one movie over another as they all have their unique factors and even B grade movies have their place. One that springs to mind is Ice Pirates however Tron and several others played a large part in my growing up.
Favorite Music Music is one of those things that if you listen to the same thign over and over it gets boaring and you begin to hate it. Disturbed would have to one of the more recent ones i haev begun to enjoy over others.
Favorite Books I do little reading unless its a technical manual. I expect this may be partly due to having mild dislexia and although I have leant to live with it find that when reading books i end up readingf the same sebntence over and over again to the point of frustration.
