Biography:

Enjoyed model rocketry as a teenager in t' 70's and as a Dad in t' 90's. 

Re-discovered t' fun and thrills at a Tri-Cities Rocketeers meet in June 2019.  

So, arrr, I got a few old kits "out o' mothballs" and I now have a growin' fleet o' new Mid-power one- and two-stage rockets.

I'm hopin' t' go even bigger down t' road!
