About

I grew up quick and I grew up mean, my fists got hard and creativity became king. Life ain't easy for a boy named Rustie. From El Paso to Austin, Dallas to San Francisco, and wherever the road points next. Making things, making kids, making good times is the life I love. I wouldn't change nuthin.
