In 1970, I was born in Durham, NC as an heir to a strong family inclination to save garbage. If other people throw it away, it must be good! My Uncle is a trash welder/sculptor, and my Granddad is a shameless thrift store junkie. I was attracted to fire hydrants because I thought that no one else could possibly be collecting them and because of their sheer weight. I love them. I have a wife, two girls, a dog, and a rabbit.
