First time as an IPMS Member. For many years I was involved in R/C modeling. I messed around a little with plastic models growing up but was never real serious about it. I joined the USAF right after High School in 1989 as a B-52H Crew Chief at Minot AFB, ND. In 1993 I was selected to be a part of the B-2A Program at Whiteman AFB, MO. I was medically discharged (Honorable Discharge) in 1998 at Keesler AFB, MS. I decided the Gulf Coast was the warmest place I'd been and made it my home (originally from New Haven, IN). In 2005 I started to get more serious and bought my first Air Brush but Hurricane Katrina forced me to move. I now live in Mobile, AL. I stayed with R/C modeling until last year when I bought my motorcycle. This year I sold my truck and decided to return to plastic modeling as my creative outlet. I'm hoping to hone my skills and produce some higher quality display models.
