Biography:
Enjoyed model rocketry as a teenager in the 70's and as a Dad in the 90's.

Re-discovered the fun and thrills at a Tri-Cities Rocketeers meet in June 2019.

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

I'm hoping to go even bigger down the road!
