As a child, every summer I would stay over at my grandparents’ house. My grandfather, who was a WWII Tank Engineer, would find various electronics from the trash which he would then show me how to disassemble. As the years went by, I would continue to take things apart just to see what was inside. Eventually I learned not only how to take things apart but also how to put them together. This has led me to be proficient in various categories of technology all because my grandfather passed on his curiosity for technology all those years ago.
In my free time I work on various projects at home either involving music, wood working, or modding anything I can get my hands on.
