Hi all! I ‘ll be 64 Saturday and I’ve been modeling since I was six. I was an Air Force brat, so travelled behind my Dad to many bases, McDill, Tyndall, Geiger, McCord...

I am a Florida native from St. Marks. I joined the Navy in 1973 and was Honorably discharged in 1979 as an E-5 AQ. I was a radar/weapons system technician on the F-4J Phantom. Had a blast!

I’m now retired and living in Wilkes-Barre, Pa. wishing I were back home in Florida. My biggest challenge now is trying to build in an apartment on the sixth floor of an apartment building! LOL!

Build 1/48 scale WW II Aircraft and 60s and 70s Aircraft. Some Sci-fy for a change of pace and 1/350 scale ships when I really want to test my eyesight! I try to help other modelers with details about the F-4 and carrier ops in general. Currently working on a Zoukie-Mura F-4J in hopes of finishing it in VF-102 markings to add to my CAG-7 collection. Looking forward to talking to some of you folks soon!
