I was born and raised in Dayton, Ohio. Since the age of 3 I have been able to draw--I guess that makes me a child prodigy--whatever. Anyway, I have no brothers and two sisters. In 2003, I lost my mother to cancer. I went to college for a degree in Music Education from 1995-2004, I dropped out twice during that time. During the second time I changed my major to Art because the music program was too hard, and then my grants dried up. I have written a book, a novella, and several short stories (none of which have ever been published; publishing is very expensive). I have worked as a Road Manager for a local band here in Dayton, and have worked with another band that consisted of various members from other bands such as Mark Adams and Drag from Slave, and Sugarfoot from Ohio Players, among other people who have played in bands during the 60s and 70s. For the passed three years, I have been working through temp agencies doing general labor. I have also worked in the food industry through one of the local banquet halls and in many of the finer restaurants. I am currently, employed at ABX (Airborne Express), which is a department of DHL in Wilmington, OH. There, I mostly load/unload trucks, sort packages on various belts, or seperate packages for various trucks. So if you have ever had lost or broken mail/packages, it wasn't my fault, it was like that when it got to me. Yeah, my bio has 'loser' written all over it, but that's okay. My interests in gaming started back in 1982 when I visited one of my relatives, they had an Atari 2600, which was a big deal back then. My uncle gave us this console that contained Pong, Table Tennis, and something else, I think it was from Activision. It wasn't until 1988 when I bought my first real console, the NES. I also bought a Gameboy after it had been out a couple of years. In 1994, I gave my NES to one my mother's friends kids and bought myself a SNES. That lasted me a good little while right up until I traded it up at Game Spot for a PS2 in 2003. A year later, I bought the GC. In 2006, I bought the Gameboy Advance, but traded that up for the DS Lite.
