Biography:

I was a child of the 1960's and the dawning of the space-age. Aerospace and Astronomy were my passions then and still are to this day. Back then Model Rocketry was cool. Even science was cool. In the mid-70's I joined the Air Force and my rocketry went dormant for a while.

Fast forward to 1996. I moved to southern California (from Rochester NY) and married the love of my life in 1999. I became a B.A.R. I was very active in ROC (NAR #538) from 1998 to 2002. In 2003/4 things changed professionally and again my rocketry went into storage. In 2010 things changed again, and rocketry came out of storage. So maybe I am a Born Again and Again Rocketeer. :) Then another job change and from 2017 to 2021, no rocketry. And back again. So I am a Born Again and Again and Again Rocketeer

I live in Southern CA (for now... maybe AZ in a year or so). 

I enjoy all aspects of Rockets. 1/8A through M. I have just as much fun launching a MicroMaxx Rocket as a K impulse rocket. Clustering, staging, gliders, it's all good.

 

Clubs: ROCSCRA, MDARS, and FAR
