NASCAR Champion
I am a NASCAR Champion! No, not as a driver, but in PR. After years of working in the industry as a community manager, news media, motorsports website management, and driver representation, I reached a career goal of becoming a Champion in Public Relations, working for Ben Rhodes in the 2014 NASCAR K&N Pro Series East Series (now known as ARCA East). I received this awesome championship ring, which I don’t wear out and about, but it is cool to look at periodically!

Who the heck am I, where did I come from, and what am I doing?
Social Origins
Did you know concepts I conceptualized in the discussion forum online world helped launch MySpace? It happened! The journey started in 1999 when I was on a WebTV+ box looking for info on the Sega Dreamcast. That turned into the gig of being the Project Manager of Community Development for eUniverse, the company that launched MySpace (under their rebranded Intermix Media name). Watch the video to find out about the journey!
Current projects
What am I focusing on professionally? Right now it is two main projects: my web business and my news media website. Check them out below.
I started STIX FX in 1996 as a small video production company, recording weddings, DJ competitions, club costume contests, and more. The first dip into websites occurred in 1999, and over many years, I spent time in the web world of info. Currently, STIX FX Entertainment provides marketing and website development services, and is the publisher of Legends Nation.
Legends Nation is the premier Legend Car and Bandolero news and informational source internationally. I started the website in 2007 under another company, eventually pulling it under the STIX FX Entertainment brand in 2010. From 2015 to 2022 I shifted the ownership to a friend when my career took a different turn. In 2023 I reacquired and relaunched the brand.
More Chaos Coming ...
Amazingly, even though I have been in the website development and management world for years, I really haven't created a personal website for myself. Well, technically I did with my first STIX FX website in 1999, however, there wasn't much there. So I decided it is time to tell the world more about who I am, just because. That being said, the website here will continue to grow, including the addition of more pages documenting what is the chaos of my life. Until then, visit my social medias and follow or like what I do there. As I have breaks between STIX FX Entertainment client websites and Legends Nation coverage of Legends and Bandolero news and info, I will fill out more of the website here.
What is this about?
This is here just for me to play with. Don't pay any attention it it.
