I've been an avid modeler all of my life. My dad was a WWII bomber pilot and a modeler, working with stick & paper, solid wood and then plastic in the 50's, when i was introduced to it.

Always had an interest in aviation. Dad joined what would become the New England Air Museum in 1960 and I followed on. In 1976 I was employed by them as the Operations Manager, which included creating the museum store. At that time it mostly consisted of plastic models. I created several model exhibits, some of which are still there. I left that employment in 1988 for other endeavors but continued my modeling hobby.

One area I dabbled in over the years is film making. I've hooked up with various local filmmakers to produce and edit several films.

Now retired and I've been concentrating on my model stash -- all those kits I've been saying I really wanted to built someday. That day is here for me. I still pick up a new kit here and then, but much more picky.
