Ellen started out in Pyro as so many here do, at a very young age, sneaking supplies from dads garage or shop. Having a fire and rocket obsessed brother, and mostly boys in the neighborhood was destined to skew her childhood world view. Instead of wanting to be a princess in a beautiful castle like many other little girls, she wanted to blow up the castle.

At PGI The Mumm shell building class was all it took to completely set the hook and she left the convention with over 100 pounds of chemicals, a thumb drive full of literature, and a star roller on order. Its been pretty much total immersion ever since. She had finally found her peeps.

Ellen is retired now, but her day job was as a Registered Nurse for over 3 decades, the last part in Intensive Care and Emergency Room, while the first half was in Psychiatric Emergency and probably goes a long way into explaining her current pyro obsession.
