My name is Mario Benvenuto and I grew up and still live in New Jersey. I started doing electrical work with my dad at 13 years old which taught me how to use tools and laid a good foundation for my future. When I was around 19 my friend and I decided to build an arcade machine without any knowledge or woodworking skills. Some how we managed to actually pull it off which gave me the confidence and curiosity to keep making, and I have been ever since!

I have gotten into all sorts of projects since then with each one being massively different from the last. While this may not make me a master at any craft it has made me very versatile in being able to achieve whatever project I set out to build.

Besides making I love music and movies. My favorite types of music are metal and pop with my top 3 being Korn, Avenged Sevenfold, and Taylor Swift. For movies I’m a huge Alien and Predator nut especially with the first 2 Alien movies. I also grew up in the golden age of the Xbox 360 so video games like Halo and Gears of War are some of my favorites.

All of these things have had a huge impact on me as a person but have also played a part into some of my projects and the style of which I build them.
