About

Illinois Marine Corps veteran and DIY devotee here to share some of my favorite things and connect with members of communities with common interests. I'm currently dedicating time to my 2019 Subaru Crosstrek and other car and overlanding mods and reviews, and we'll see where it goes from there. I also recently got into amateur radio and might do some related videos. Thanks for checking out the channel!
