Hello everyone! New here so I figured I would introduce myself. Ive been a firework enthusiast since I was a kid. As a child my parents would take me to all the holiday displays in our town. As everyone was looking to the sky watching the fireworks, I was watching the technicians as they were hand firing the shows and wondering how I too could someday do that! As a teenager I would make my parents stop at every road side tent and store. One store in particular that i would frequently visit on the way to my grand mother’s house, started to recognize me. After a few years the owner let me into the “backroom” and allowed me to buy a brick of firecrackers, a shell kit and some bottle rockets (Pennsylvania was a safe n sane state up until a few years ago). Now being an “adult”… really a kid at heart… I have helped with 4th of July commercial shows, backyard 1.3g shows and pyro musicals. Lately I haven't had the time to enjoy the hobby due to a hectic work schedule but the itch has never left. I was a member of the NLPC and Crackerjacks club but haven't made it to any events in the past 2 years or so. I also had a large interest in collecting antique fireworks and pyrobilia but was forced to sell my entire collection about a year ago due to a house move and no longer having extra space for it unfortunately.

So thats a brief back story of me! Thanks for having me, it’s a pleasure to be here!
