About Me
I am a 56 year old kid and live with my wife in Meridian Idaho USA. Currently I am an electronics technician with 4 grandchildren and another on the way. I am also a 14 year US Coast Guard veteran.
My passions are building things and art, so model building seemed like the logical choice. I started building when I was 5 and other than times where I could not build aboard a cutter I have never stopped. I enjoy all scales and subjects, but my favorites are WW2 warships and any era planes, war or otherwise. I dabble in armor on occasion and sci fi even less but I will still joyfully build them.
I have a hereditary disease called Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis which causes my lungs to scar and thus they do not transfer oxygen as effectively as normal lungs do. I will eventually get bad enough to require a double lung transplant but at the moment I use supplementary oxygen during exertion.
I enjoy life and still workout while using oxygen to keep the rest of my body healthy.
