Honest brick talk from a fan who came back after 40 years.

I build new sets, tell you what's great and what isn't, then take them apart and turn them into something new. Welcome to the herd.

I started posting on social media in May 2025, during a tough time. I was marking the first anniversary of my wife's death, had lost a longtime friend, and was recovering from a serious COVID-19 hospitalization. After a 40-year break from LEGO® bricks, I went looking for connection in the LEGO® community, and it welcomed me right in.

Now I create family-friendly LEGO® content that I hope inspires others: reviewing sets, building my own MOCs, and sharing it all in short videos on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and Facebook. What matters most is the people who watch, so I like giving the herd a say in what I build and talk about next.

I also live with pulmonary arterial hypertension, a rare, progressive, and incurable lung disease. I use my journey to appreciate life and spread kindness.

MOCs: one set, something new

I like to take sets apart and rebuild them into something they were never meant to be. When a build is ready, I publish the instructions so you can make it too.

The Hideous Venom Mech Armor Mod MOC

Instructions available · MOC-272499

Hideous Venom Mech Armor Mod

My first MOC in 40 years, built from three copies of the Venom Mech Armor vs. Miles Morales set (76276). It has claws, chaos, and more arms than anyone needs. The instructions are now on Rebrickable.
