My name is Anthony. By trade, I am an automotive technician. I spent nearly six years in the military as a heavy equipment mechanic and a few years before and several after as an automotive technician. I have always had a passion for anime, manga, collectibles, and building. Some find this odd, being I have tattoos, ride dirt bikes and a Harley, and build performance-based vehicles anywhere from 6-cylinder turbocharge 350Zs to old square body Chevy's with carbureted big blocks. Also, I have a wide range of construction experience, from rough framing to custom shelving. But despite that, I still have my Pokémon cards from 20+ years ago and my first ever Dragon Ball Z action figure. Recently I decided I wanted to start my own business and a new chapter of my life. I knew I wanted it to revolve around things I never had the opportunity to explore and some things I already had a passion for. So, I decided I needed a hobby store. My wife and daughter are incredibly supportive of my decision. My wife has a that she is passionate about and wants me to have the same. So, I am excited to start this new journey, to connect with other like minded individuals in the hobby community, and to pass on my knowledge as well as learn from them. I will have to say thank you to a good friend of mine, Jose Cardenas, for helping me get started on this path because, without his help, I would have never had the courage, despite how much I wanted to make this leap. (Leaving a good carrier and pay is tough). Thank you for taking the time to read this, and I look forward to meeting and/or working with you.
