I am the son of a former Baptist preacher who got me interested in survivalism, firearms, archery, and primitive living. I went to gunsmiths school but wasn't able to graduate due to severe panic attacks that I even now, 12 years later, still suffer from on a daily basis. I became interested in both the Viking and Native American cultures when I was young. I want to make some of the clothing and weapons that both the Vikings and Eastern Woodland Indians would have worn and used in their times. I practice art when I can and I write my own online webzine dealing with many forms of extreme heavy metal called Ancient Death. I am also married to a beautiful woman who is totally supportive of all that I do. I always enjoy good conversation so if you are reading this and want to strike one up with me, never hesitate!

"Be your friend's true friend. Return gift for gift. Repay laughter with laughter again but betrayal with treachery."

"When it comes time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song, and die like a hero going home."
-Chief Apumut
