UPDATE 05/22/2009
Since winning I've traveled the country doing public appearences and more importantly, giving my presentation on "How to be a Hero in your Community". This is for elementary school age children and I've given it to almost 5000 kids in the last 2 yrs. My public appearences as The Defuser are starting to slow down but it's been a hell of a ride and I'd like to thank everyone for all their support.
You can always find me on my website; www.thedefuser.net or on Facebook, under my alter ego, jarrett crippen.
