How did Gregor get started sculpting?

In 2002, Gregor had a total loss house fire from an electrical fire, and he had some serious stress. Then on top of that, his mother died a few months later, and the rage in his body was getting pretty close to being out of control. A great friend and fellow band mate, Jimbo, showed up with a set of carving tools, a six pack of beer, and said, "let's learn/create a new art form."

The next thing Gregor knew, he was carving Hawaiian styled tikis and beating the hell out those logs with a mallet and chisel. He fell in love with it! They dreamed of how they could illuminate the sculptures at their next party. Then they started carving scary faces in hollow logs, much like you would a Jack-a-Lantern. They filled them with candles, lights, and then they tried PROPANE! YEA BABY, propane in mass quantities, and 10 foot high flames jumping out of a scary tiki face, that's what hippies want to dance around.
HA! who would have figured! The next thing they knew, they were creating fire sculptures for everyone's party who wanted one.

Jimbo helped him channel his rage, sorrow, and spirit back to a positive place. Gregor is forever grateful and this is why his mantra is now, " share your gift, the impact is immeasurable! "
