Welcome To My Home Page! Look for my store coming soon, to purchase shirts and accessories. Thanks for stopping by. I want to pay special thanks to all of those people that have helped me make this website and its contents possible. I have gotten help all along the way from some very cool people who helped me to get me started. This website is an ever evolving, constantly in flux project, or at least it should be. Without the help of these people and everyone I mention below, I would not be where I am now. Thanks to Kevin for getting me here. I want to thank MP at All Equal Records' original Photoshop work, to my Brother. Oso Rey for being the night to MP's day. Thanks to Lance at Lancer Graphics, whose intense flash work was a great start to my project, and for his web site structuring and tutorials. Not to mention his advice and friendship, and a hell of a lot of hot dogs and peanut butter. To Jimmy at Jam Sportswear in Redlands, for his graphics and printing help. Without their help this never would have happened. I want to try my best to give everyone the credit they are due. If you have helped me by taking photos, or shooting video, or doing something that I may have accidentally overlooked, please drop me a line and bring it to my attention and I will rectify the situation as soon as I can. So here come the extended thanks: First off, God, The Source, for blessing me with this opportunity to approach the edge of this magical river and drink from it when I am thirsty. To my Mother and my family for allowing me to bang around and bug them for years. I love you all!
