Leaving New York and landing in La La land with dreams of becoming an actor.
The odd extra job here and there.
Nothing.
Hollywood reared it’s egregious ugly head with toxic-stained eyes.
City of Angels became Town of Demons.

Danny felt lost and confused and totally at rock bottom.
But, something softly whispered to his soul. A calling. Muse. Something. She kept pulling Danny.

A sliding doors moment. Danny stumbled upon a new technology. The genesis of HEXCLAD.
