By the lack of stuff in this gallery, I’ve burned of drawing… Sad, I know… But, like with anything in life, what leaves must be replaced…
Over the last few years, I’ve spent most of my time in my profession honing my skills as a young (civil/traffic-transportation) engineer. I'm a project engineer/manager for my local municipality's Public Works Department and on occasion, I get to moonlight as a traffic engineer at work. I have hopes of getting my Professional Engineers license in a few years. Then the skies the limit! As you might ascertain, that means I’ve logged thousands of hours of Cities: Skylines; and I do mean thousands in hopes of discovering something interesting I can apply in the real world. No breakthroughs yet…
Other than thousands of hours on Cities: Skylines, I’m a big Pokémon fan! I don’t battle anymore. I’m here for the story and the good times. That kind of sums up my video gaming these days. I want good times and good stories… At least until you talk Call of Duty or Pokemon Unite...
Cars!
I’m a huge car guy; in particular, I'm a car enthusiast! I mean a, “let's grab the tools and get fixin' car guy!” Ever since I moved out of my folks' place, I’ve bought cars, fixed them, enjoyed them, and moved them on.
My daily currently is: 2015 Dodge Challenger Scat Pack 6MT
… And YES! She’s a lean mean tire shredding machine!!!
Previous daily driver: 2012 Volkswagen Passat 2.5L 5MT, R.I.P Mar. 2018 – Jul. 2021 (traded in…)
Nonetheless, here’s what I'm working on.
1971 Ford LTD
2002 Volkswagen Jetta GLS 1.8T
2004 Cadillac Escalade Sport
2005 Volvo XC90 V8
And... Here's what I've moved on to their new owners.

1994 Ford Explorer 5MT 4x4
1979 Ford LTD Landau
1986 Porsche 944 5MT

2007 Saab 9-5 2.3T 5MT

Please feel free to look at the pictures in the gallery…
Lastly, I’m a cat person. You might see some pics of my cats from time to time. I love dogs but, dogs + renting = hard to hide from landlord…

Okay... Big Day Here...
8 years ago
Its been a while since I posted a journal. Mostly because of this fantastic and horrid thing called life...
I know this page is dead and, will most likely remain that way unless I start getting social and start buddy-buddying up with others here.
For those who might be reading this in some future long after I have left this community the same way I entered; silently and, without notice. This journal marks my first submissions I've created since I created this page about a year or so ago.
Its been hard. Between work and school and, homework finding time to draw (shit more-or-less play my Xbox One or hop on Cities: Skylines) is becoming harder and, harder.
I am not a artist by trade nor, do I want to BE an artist by trade its always been a hobby of my since grade school. Ya know back in the day when you could doddle in class, sleep and get suspended and still pass with a 4.0 GPA but, I digress... What I'm getting at is that I am not going to make this my life's work; my career. So, please if this page ever does kick off don't hound me wondering where I am. I'm here. I will always be here in your hearts its just thins arc of my journey has ended. With that being said, I want to become a traffic engineer working for the government (DoT) or engineering Firm like HNTB. I have no time nor energy to explicitly divide a majority of my time on liberal arts and, yes I just said "liberal arts" that's what it is... As a traffic engineer my job will literally be to make sure that when you get into your car you safely arrive at your destination. Traffic engineers do this in many ways, many I don't want to explicitly mention at 2:40am (might be a journal for another day...). But this is the career path I chose like may of you full-time artists here you chose your career path and, I am stating it know I have chosen mine; I've known mine for the longest that becoming a traffic engineer is what I want to be and, I will continue down that path until I get my bachelors (4 more semesters to go. Lord help me!)
Before you get up; potentially get angry or irritated even irate with me know this: we have paths that we have purposely chosen to go down. It is in your best intentions to help those who have chosen their own path and, you will find that they are more than willing to help you down yours.
