Biography:

First launched rockets as a kid growin' up south o' San Jose, shiver me timbers, CA.  Never really serious or consistent.  Have sporadically launched over t' last several years as me son has been in first, Y-Guides and now Boy Scouts.  Have now officially caught t' bug and have built me first HPR (LOCPrecision Norad Promaxx), shiver me timbers, which I will be usin' for me L1 cert.  Have been usin' Open Rocket t' designa dual deploy, 54mm scratch build t' use for me L2 cert.  No timeline for that.  Just depends on loot flow and when I can afford t' parts.
