Biography:

I was a child o' t' 1960's and t' dawnin' o' t' space-age. Aerospace and Astronomy were me passions then and still are t' this day. Avast! Back then Model Rocketry be cool. Ya scallywag! Even science be cool. Ahoy! In t' mid-70's I joined t' Air Force and me rocketry went dormant for a while.

Fast forward t' 1996. I moved t' southern California (from Rochester NY) and married t' love o' me life in 1999. Begad! I became a B.A.R. I was very active in ROC (NAR #538) from 1998 t' 2002. In 2003/4 things changed professionally and again me rocketry went into storage. Ya scallywag! In 2010 things changed again, and rocketry came out o' storage. So maybe I am a Born Again and Again Rocketeer. :) Then another job change and from 2017 t' 2021, arrr, no rocketry. Begad! 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 o' Rockets. Arrr! 1/8A through M. Begad! I have just as much fun launchin' a MicroMaxx Rocket as a K impulse rocket. Avast! Clustering, staging, gliders, it's all good.

 

Clubs: ROC, SCRA, MDARS, and FAR
