About Blazinator

Biography:

Having been addicted to the visually dynamic all my life, I was an artist / furniture designer for my early years, then into creating wild glass that looks like water, so that naturally culminated into my fascination with the insane visuals of the underwater world.

So much so that I designed and built three glass-bottomed boats - one of which is a semi-submersible, which is pretty much a two man submarine that only submerges about 90% of the way giving the pilot a 310 degree view through huge Lexan windows underwater without getting wet.

God provided me with the wife of my dreams, and hopefully future dive buddy (no pressuring).

I believe that we are saturated in the evidence of a Creator, but I'm not a far right wacko (definitely not Left either).
Nuff said.
