This is my story, and I'm sticking to it....
I am Tim, and I grew up in the lovely township of Memphis TN. After graduating Treadwell HS, I did a short stint as an MP in the US Army, until the Army (in it's infinite wisdom) chose to send me to college.

Travel with the Military included Germany, Egypt, Korea, several short-term visits to other exotic lands, and of course the special 3-country tour of Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Kuwait during Desert Storm. After completion of military service, I retrained to become a Registered Nurse, and graduated from the University of Tennessee, Memphis. I've additionally worked as a Technical Business Analyst and Information Systems "Guru".

My Soapbox: I'm just a regular working guy with hobbies. In this case, hobbies that led to making things for a few friends, with said friends recommending putting these things up for sale to make available to others. This veteran supports freedom, and is a strong supporter of the 2d Amendment. I am happy to make the well-armed citizen, my fellow shepherds, more capable of providing for a common defense. I am additionally proud to help you defend against all enemies, foreign and domestic, because that is what criminals who would cause you harm really are: Domestic enemies. Prices on the few items I sell are as low as I can make them to cover my time and materials. I will make any reasonable adjustments to keep prices down, and will only charge shipping & handling for the actual S&H amount. Again, satisfaction is guaranteed - I don't want you keeping or trying to use anything that does not enhance your skills and capabilities. |
