Hello, my name is Steve and I enjoy being periodically tasered by random law enforcement agencies from around NorthAmerica. Next year I am planning a trip to Burundi, presently their police are not equipped with taser guns, however, they tend to make due with a box spring and car battery.
So I am excited about that, naturally.
My father was born in Nicaragua in 1953 and came down with bacterial diarrhea before he was 8 months old. At the age of 4 he was already working as a peanut farmer for 18 Córdoba or (2 cents) every 3 complete monthly orbital motions of the moon.
By the time he was 17 he was able to fill a mason jar to the brim with his savings. It was a proud moment, and when people say I have a strong work ethic, you won't need to ask why.
My mother was raised in Timisoara Romania, while originally born in Winooski Vermont she was kidnapped by a rouge sect of Hungarian Jesusit Priest and indoctrinated into the sex slave business before the age of 32.
And this is how my parents met each other, and here I am...a product of their love, devotion and sacrifice.
I haven't seen either of them since I was 9, I hope they are doing well.
Oh yes, education and employment ... I have received my Masters in Bioengineering, a Bachelor's Degree in Civil Law and currently 1 semester away from attaining my PhD in Political Science and I work at a soft baked Pretzel stand in the mall.

I've been involved in magic going over 20 years, I started learning and performing magic around the age of 12 years old and began seriously researching the history of our fine art for the last 5 years or so. I perform regularly in restaurants, bars/nightclubs and anywhere else that will have me in my home state of Louisiana and also were I currently reside, Sweden.
Other interest outside of magic include but not limited to:
Music/Musical instruments: I have been playing drums since the age of 9. Guitar for roughly 5 years. Bass guitar for 3. I would eventually like to take up piano.
I listen to all genres mostly. Currently on my iPod you will find Dimmu Borgir, Mudvayne, Marilyn Manson, Killswitch Engage, Aerosmith, Elton John, Willie Nelson, Korn, AC/DC, Chopin, Lead Belly, Ozzy, Ronnie Milsap, Randy Travis, and dozens of other artist from all styles of music.
Other: I love World War II History. Serial Killers. Psychology. Theology. Occult. Chemistry. Texas Hold'em. And several other subjects...I watch very little television but when I do it's either the news, and when The Walking Dead series is on AMC.
Glad to be here at T11 forums, it's such a great and exciting place where we can learn from one another and take our own magic to the next level.
