The House I Grew Up In... Kind Of. Dragonman's House

Join me for a tour of the house I grew up in. Well kind of, my dad has made a few changes. See what Dragonman's lair looks like.

[@srvanddt1]

It seems like your dad is just filling the void of missing your mom. Spend as much time with him as you can. He is not getting any younger. Cheers to your dad!

[@paulbrungardt9823]

Well Said.

[@tylermallory2504]

so true, I lost my dad when I was 17. I'm 35 now and still would give just about anything to hear his voice one last time...

That's crazy. I remember this house. Your mom gave me my first job I helped her cut grass so I was able to play paintball. Rest in peace Terry. You are awesome!

This man has impeccable taste when it comes to interior design. Truly a visionary.

[@nullnull-b1s]

im sure even he thinks its hideous, but hes a man with money, enjoy it

[@fleatactical7390]

This man deserves his own museum. Or should I say, a bigger one than he already lives in.

I literally would marry her not for her beauty or coolness but just to have that ol man as my father in law. An American Legend 🇺🇸🦅💯🔥

I'd marry either of his daughters, they're both beautiful and come from good stock.

Your dads house is SO COOL ! The man has everything ! And he is living his best life, what more could a son or daughter want for their dad ? Especially since his life’s partner has moved forward to prepare their place in eternity for them.. I love it !!! Your dads an awesome man. You and your gorgeous sister are very lucky to have him 😊

[@BugsyNY]

Dragoman is a mans man for sure, the term cut from a different cloth definitely describes Mel perfectly.

[@FizzleWick1]

Nope just a lonely man… I feel bad for him

[@EndoftheBlock7224]

I LOVE your Dad Ava, my idol. Any boy sneaking into your house was freaking crazy. Fun video

The joys of living life as the Dragon Man. Still want to know how his place is so spotless.

She shut the light off leaving the room! I’ve never seen a woman do that! She’s a keeper! 😆

[@thehouseofhorsepowerautobo4506]

I knew your dad was from New York I could tell from the accent I was born on long Island! My shop is decorated like you dad's house! So cool thanks for sharing!

[@JabFreeMcGee]

As a man, I can understand why your dad has done what he has to basically completely remodel your childhood home from what it used to be. It’s (in my view) been his way of coping with the loss of your mom and it’s helped to keep him busy in his retirement years. He seems to be in great spirits and that is a wonderful sight to see for someone his age.

[@greggreg2263]

Dragon man is the best interior decorator. Nothing is boring inside the house.👻✅🦌

[@Colt-sv8fz]

Best house ever Your dad has great taste

[@tezsullivan6048]

Awesome Man Cave. Great Memorabilia 👍👍👍

[@dumpsterbear2492]

“This window is where I snuck in all the boys…” Dragon Man goes into mini flashback, snaps out of it and moves on with the tour.

[@briggsquantum]

It was a quick flashback though. Not much of a tell. I wouldn't play poker with him - "I gotta full house"......."So do I!" BLAMMO!

[@thomasrouh2258]

Mel....You have the most beautiful daughters and they are blessed with you as a father......

[@rickhayes]

Your dad is AWESOME!!! 🤘

Ava. I love it. That is a beautiful name. Your dad is one man i hope to get to meet one day. I love collecting and I love more looking at others collection's. I could listen to yhat man all the time. Your mom must have been a very beautiful woman. Im 39 and I dont mean nothing by that comment. I hope you and dad have a very blessed Christmas

[@joeyknucklez]

Met your mom and pops at the range when I first moved here to the Springs in 2011. Good people. Hope to see you, your sis and pops when I take my 2 daughters to the range soon because you guys remind me of us.

[@jayfielder3193]

Awesome! I love Dragonmans Home! As a fellow collector & old school dude myself. Love it all, The Guns! The old 50' models. All the Coca-Cola stuff. Very impressive! I could spend weeks there checking out all the collector's best!

I read about the accident on the news a couple years back. It was tragic but glad to see you are doing well

[@tigerwolf78]

Love this video thank you for sharing!! Also, your mom did a great job raising you and your sister. I am very sorry for your loss. I lost my mom to cancer when was a teenager and miss her every day. Your dad is so proud and optimistic to share his world too and I love that American pride he has. Enjoy every moment. He is someone I could talk tor days about all the cool things he has collected!! :).

[@edsauer4702]

Nice looking daughters😊

[@TheGermanHammer]

Such an awesome family, and what you guys have built is truly astonishing. 🤟 Really glad that I moved to the Springs a couple years ago and was able to fully experience Dragonmans museum and full auto range.

[@65Coronet1]

Love your dads confidence

[@jtaylorb88]

I get it in some ways with your dad, losing your spouse early in order to fill up your day you start some crazy hobbies or they just take over you. That first year after my wife passed I built so many different AR's just to keep my mind off of the grief. Too bad the TV show ever did happen it would have been epic indeed.

[@fredpersicano6142]

Your dad is living his best life !!!

[@badministrator5]

"We got the old closet here, of course its full of guns and ammunition." Had me laughing, I wasn't expecting anything else Mel. Best man.

Some how I find it hard to believe there were any boys sneaking in that window at night.

[@squib3083]

I also have a super cool dad. It’s such a blessing. Thanks for sharing about your family and childhood.

[@jebj1]

I love listening to your dad rockin the NY accent ! I'm originally from Queens. I miss the NY I grew up in back in the 90's

[@dullsearake]

No idea how I got here but you and your Dad are amazing

[@marktwo3160]

She has seen that house 1000 times just like it is. Fun to see again anyway. I have never seen a man with so much energy. Besides the museum, harley repair, gun shop, gun range, real hot rods, model hot rods collecting everything from vintage gas pumps to 50's malt shop furniture and so much more. Anyway, see what a man can do when he puts his mind to it. The whole compound is beyond just super impressive.

[@scottbourret1190]

Your dad and my dad have the same interior designer. Loves his petroliana, classic cars and do-wap.

[@onlymybest9162]

Your Dad is really cool, you 2 make a great team. Keep up the good work.

[@moonwolf5910]

I was expecting a race car bed in your dads room. The funny thing is I didn’t notice most of the guns in his room, I was looking at the stuff on the wall😂

[@danbucko696]

This man walked into Ed Debevics one day and never really left. Love the commitment to the theme.

Thank you for sharing your reaction to your father, I've always wondered what Dragon Man's kids were like. I would be shaking my head, just like you. No refrigerator? Does he never get sick? Even if I could afford it, I would never want to eat out everyday, but hey, he likes it, good for him. Thanks again!

What was it like growing up in the house of such a man? must have been an amazing child hood. Full of wonderful history and one of a kind experience. I'll be sure to watch your other videos 😊
