I am a husband to a beautiful wife named Whitney and Dad to a wonderful baby boy. Yay! :) Damien Augustus Shaffer has come into this world on March 15th 2010.

I remember spending roughly about 6-7 years collecting and reading just about every comic book I could get my hands on and then zap….comics were gone from my life. My excuse….I just got…

Ok, so I cry. I cry a lot more now than I ever have in my entire life. Not because I am sad, but because I am emotionally sensitive to a level I have never known or hardly remember. My best analogy is that up until the last couple of years I have had an emotional ‘plaque’…

So….I’m working. Not the easy stuff. But the hard kind. The kind of work that solidifies foundations for future work. The kind of work you hear your grandparents talk about.
