Growing up in a family of artists, I eventually decided to pursue a career in something where I could work with my hands on a daily basis, and welding seemed perfect as a growing in-demand profession. When the pandemic eventually hit us back in 2020, I bought my first printer, an Ender 3 Pro, to help produce heavily needed supplies like mask straps and face shield adapters for nearby clinics and hospitals. Thankfully, demand for them died down over time and I could focus on printing fun little objects and toys.
At first, I played around with the same models everyone did, little flexi toys like a cute little octopus, a small statue of baby Yoda, small human skulls and just about everything else I could find. As time passed, so did my ambition, and I wanted to start making bigger things like my favorite movie and video game swords, guns, and other crazy stuff I only dreamed of holding since I was a kid. Eventually, I wanted to do an entire set of wearable armor, and my favorite Warcraft character, the Lich King, was chosen as my first big cosplay project. I'm often asked what my next big project is going to be, and honestly I don't have an answer for it. I have a great career I enjoy and a wonderful side business to keep me busy. Above all, I've made some amazing friends along this journey, and I feel like it's only just starting.
