I’m from Washington state, studying to get my Civil Engineering degree. I  got into skill toys after finding some of my old yo-yos from when I was  very young. Soon enough, I learned of the vast range of different skill  toys people had developed, and I began experimenting with crafting my  own from paracord, nuts and bolts and other things from around the  house. Researching methods on how to make some of the toys I had seen  led to my introduction to Playexcess, and the rest is history.
