Born and raised in the Philadelphia PA area. Joined the Marines after high school and my primary specialty was a crash, fire, and rescue fire fighter. Like most Marines, I held many "collateral" duties while serving nine years. Was honorably discharged for medical reasons and enrolled in college where I earned a degree in civil engineering.
I am married to an awesome women and have three wonderful children. I have a busy life but still find time to work on my models. I enjoy building primarily USMC equipment but have deviated when the subject is interesting and/or has personal appeal. I also devote equal modeling time for trains. I usually have three projects going at once to make my limited time more efficient.
