Hello

I'm kinda the newboy to the SkullTroniX family, and somewhat of an oddity (at time of writing) because I run one of the few British Haunts.

By day I'm an Industrial Controls Engineer which means I build, program and service computer control systems that control machines for manufacturing Commercial Aircraft wings. We have just recently finished the development of the plant that builds the 555 seat A380.

I started what I now know as haunting two years ago when I decided to turn the tables on Trick or Treaters by rewiring my doorbell to one of my computers a 1000W speaker system and a strobe lamp... along the way of doing this I picked up a fogger, and made a 'talking' pumpkin by the simple expedient of putting a Lo voltage lamp inside a regular carved Pumpkin, a few pages of software, and before I knew it I had a haunt on my hands

2006 was when I joined formally the Haunting community , the previous years 'doorbell' was such a great success I just had to build on it, and spent a lot of time developing new software that could drive a more complex haunt, and scrounging for materials, the 2006 haunt included a Polystyrene foam Graveyard, a crude talking skull, an animated skeleton, Monster ina box.....and the BBC

Developement of the 2007 haunt started on 1st November 2006, I actually called Jerry to order my SkullTroniX skull whilst he was dismantling his own haunt.

Since joining Jerry and co I've take on distribution and servicing of SkullTroniX products on this side of the big blue pond under the banner of Phoenix Animatronix... OK at time of writing the current market here is outstandingly underwhelming, but my efforts here have generated a lot of attention, and I'm sure the interest over here will grow.

Over the past months Jerry and I have been working closely on the development of a number of new products, and I've been providing some Engineering advice to 'improve' the manufacture of Skulls.
