: About Me

Hello Universe!

I am Andres Flores, aka Mike to my family and friends. I first moved to Austin in 1996, left and came back three times so I decided to stay. I love it here. I was born in Los Angeles California, grew up in Minneapolis Minnesota where I learned printed circuit board design, and got to travel all over the country until I settled here. I can get real wordy here giving you a detailed bio all about me, but I won't because right now I'm sitting at the Green Muse in South Austin, and I have to pee. Life is great!
