Started building models at age 7; the first two with my dad and then I was off to the races. Slowed down significantly in the late teens and '20s so I could attempt a career as a musician and do a day job to pay the bills. The day job has become the career (mostly distribution), and the music is definitely part-time.
I've got a fantastic wife who has two daughters (yes, I'm stepdad), the oldest of which has given us two wonderful granddaughters.
