Digitalman became interested in robot combat back when Battlebots was on the air. Then a local event in Minnesota, MECHWARS Robot Combat, started up and he's been volunteering his time, sweat, and music to the cause. Digitalman's music is played during matches and was used for four episodes of MECHWARS that aired on KSTC Channel 45, a St. Cloud television station. Digitalman splits his free time between family and hobbies, which include building robots, music, and working on web sites.
