A Letter from the Founder
Hey there—thanks for dropping by. I’m a Certified Ethical Hacker and Certified Website Developer, equal parts code-slinger and card-collecting lifer. I grew up during the wild birth of the trading card era—running OG Yu-Gi-Oh! duels after school and flipping Pokémon binders in the late 90’s and early 00’s. Those nights shaped my sense of community, fairness, and hype—values baked into Loves Comics.
I’m also a Dungeon Master who loves drawing out epic moments at the table—cheering the nat-20s, laughing through the nat-1s. That same energy fuels our shop: dramatic reveals, careful preparation, and always respecting the party.
Life stacked some encounters—recently divorced, now dating an equally nerdy, wonderful woman who gets the midnight sorting sessions.
I’m a dad of four incredible kids (3 girls and my eldest son). They’re my whole universe and the reason our brand is relentlessly
family-first. We pack like we’re shipping to our own house. We price like we’re buying for our own kids.
By day, I grind a regular job to keep the lights on so every spare dollar can be reinvested into this dream. By night (and most weekends),
I run Black Trace Labs—our sister company specializing in website & mobile app development and full-scope penetration testing.
That blend of creativity and security is why you’ll see retro neon and robust engineering here. Welcome to the Neon Vault.
- Humanitarian at heart—while not religious, I believe in showing up for people.
- Regularly donate to local charities and jump in when neighbors need help.
- Builder mindset: fix it, improve it, ship it, learn from it.
- Family-centric schedules and policies—we work around real life.
