Don grew up in the south suburbs of Chicago, spending his time outside playing sports, riding BMX bikes, and messing around with anything mechanical he found fun or interesting. This led Don to become an automotive mechanic for 20 years, where he learned valuable skills and built up the knowledge to build and race custom race cars. Don has also spent his entire life traveling between a farm in Arkansas and Illinois where his father and grandparents before him, raise cattle. Don learned a lot from his grandfather and father there that he believes made it possible for him to learn all the things he has.

Don enjoys playing electric guitar and building PCB board style effects stomp boxes, building and racing cars, and eating anything BBQ. He spends as much time outside that he can with friends, but when there are rainy days Don enjoys old 90s and late 80s video games, Super Mario being a favorite! Don also enjoys learning almost anything if he can read or find educational videos on a topic. Don likes to endlessly learn new things or expand on old principles. Don also enjoys going to the local gym 3 to 5 days a week and maintaining his physical health. Don also enjoys traveling back down south to work on farm related things and hang out with his father.
