So I created a YouTube channel. And I will continue to post my videos and demos to this channel. I'm still learning how to link the videos, :) so these three videos all go together!

My job? It ain’t pretty. It’s not all pearly whites and minty fresh breath, (que the Mentos Fresh Maker commercial). And although it may gross people out. I.LOVE.MY.JOB.
