Eli's Departure
In many ways Eli was responsible for the new face of TSG. His initial videos posted on TechTV and photography posted on flickr created the media foundation for TSG's website and demonstration database.

Additionally, Eli had a significant talent in machining and woodworking which helped him create some beautiful additions to our collection of demonstrations.

Eli is now attending The Art Institute of Chicago.
We wish him luck.
