This story begins nearly a decade ago, upon maturity he crawled out from under his technologic rock and observed a simple pattern being beamed to him by glowsticks.

While if in the beginning it was all about becoming the best, enthusiasm and zeal tempered creativity and ingenuity.

Starting from the very first time glowsticks gave way to fire a cast of characters were waiting to be met. Just a few years later introductions to Kurt and Schuyler began what has grown to become the Ohio Burn Unit. In the begining nights of staying up spinning the same Poi until the sun rose demanded change into a constaintly evolving skill toy creation. Weekend after weekend of crazy contraption after oddball idea eventually begain to gather spectators. Shows today can number in the thousands. Knagi and the Ohio Burn Unit have since gained international recognition after setting the Guinness World Record by walking seventeen emulsified friends into the book for forty seconds.

His role in all this has been the creative drive of the Burn Unit constantly brainstorming and following through with ideas that others consider to be far fetched. From six foot long chains with a wick affixed every foot, to giant six tipped yo-yos his ability to master the unwieldy toys is unmatched. A few of his ideas include a solid steel cross able to knock any performer unconscious with a single swing, Double Nun-chucks both handles aflame only inches from his hands, double six foot whips snapping sound in every direction around him.
