I started modeling as a kid,you know some military stuff,some Aurora Monsters,but mostly just to build them and play with them until they broke.I started up again in 1982 until 1993 while I was living in an apartment,but then between work and other hobbies,I discontinued for a few years.No builds remain from this time.I bought a house in 1998 and in 1999 I set up a dedicated work shop,and started building ever since.I enjoy trying new techniques,and going to the local shows although I never entered one yet.Maybe in the future.I retired from the local gas and electric utility in 2017,where I worked as a Dispatcher for 13 years,Previously as an HVAC and Gas Service Technician for 27 years with the same company.I also love baseball roadtrips,any vacation,play a little golf, watching sports on TV,and we love going to museums
