Backstory Behind Stephanie and Guest
I met Crash while living in Venice, CA over seven years ago when I went to Float Lab. Both my expereince in the tank and talking with Crash were equally rewarding. Crash is a no-BS kind of man. He is careful with his words. He has an evolve way of thinking yet does not impose his way on anyone. – Stephanie Michele
