Ra7eN is one of the rare "Pretenders". While his skill-set is pales in comparison to the fictitious Micheal T. Weis character: Jarod, in the real world it is nothing to be scoffed at. From a certified Auto Mechanic, to licensed electrician, plumber, carpenter and wide range of maintenance work, to entertainment such as guitarist, singer, songwriter( cameo on a local KS radio station), even as a bartender, would hop up and start the Karaoke off. Artist, usually pencil. Bachelors in Philosophy and Religion, and Associates in Political Science. He can converse in a crowded room seamlessly from one person and topic to the next person, with a high degree of knowledge.
While he has many professional and entertainment skills, he most cherished is his gaming and programing. Starting out with a Timex Sinclair back in the day, with 1K or RAM (not 1MB!!) started learning to program games. These days can easily program in over 8 languages as the need arises. Most the time will have no issue creating his own apps, if they are either too expensive or just do not suit his needs.
On par with his programing, is gaming (steam being his main library), A passion he enjoys to pass stressful days, or to help with new ideas for writing a game (most of those are personal and rarely public)
For the most part, he sees himself as a big kid. Enjoys each day to the fullest. When asked how he's doing his reply is always:
"... PEACHY! Everyone else has the bad days covered, that leaves these wonderful days for me!"
