Welcome and thanks for visiting this website! It's nice to have you here.

So... what is this site all about? After a dozen or so websites on various free hosting services over the past decade, it has become harder to find one that allows the size I need and the services I want without being buried alive in spam and pop up ads. So, it finally dawned on me that I should pry open my wallet and consolidate them all in to one spot. From the Tribal Art, to 3D modeling, to whatever else is happening at the moment, it will be here. I hope you like it and I welcome your comments. Who am I? Well, at this moment in time my titles include husband, father, and professional IT person working in the automotive industry. My family and I live in upstate NY, USA.

... I've tried to lend some sort of organization to the navigation structure below, but if you get stuck you can always press the 'restart' link to get back to this page. The 'web slices' area is to let you know at a glance what's new to the pages. The site is at it's best at 1024*768 on a high bandwidth internet connection. Enjoy!

NEW! Take a look at the coding page.. I'm going to take a stab at becoming a professional programmer :)

... In the world of toys, I recently bought an XBox 360. I like it, despite the lack of games and really loud CD spinning noise. so far I'm a few hours into Kameo and have already spent some extra dough on the Xbox Live Marketplace grabbing some downloads. I can see how the device is really going to be a money-sucking vampire if I'm not careful. I'm also pleased to announce I'm the proud owner of a Verizon VX6700, a Pocket PC that does everything except shine my shoes... big phone fun, to be sure.

... but wait! There's more!
