# Invention Incarnate

@InventionIncarnate (Tim Koehn) is a self-taught pyrotechnician, former paramedic and carpenter who just wanted to make a smoke bomb then get on with his life. 

Fed up with YouTube’s “garbage” and gatekept scraps, he taught himself the chemistry and field techniques, then started sharing clear, usable methods so other pyros wouldn’t have to reinvent the wheel. He started a YouTube channel on a bet from his youngest daughter. Two years later, his channel consists of over 100k subs!
