As a passionate and motivated professional, yada, yada...  I have one single thread that runs continuously through the span of my memories, and that is to build... things.  Well, spaceships mainly and predominantly, but that's neither here nor there.  Yah, sure, there have been other interests in my life, I may be an O.G., D and D playing nerd from the 80's, but I still had a life. 

 

Still, I built. 

 

 From an early age, Lego scratched the itch that was the building monkey on my back, providing me with years worth of building pleasure.  Then it was 24 inch long cardboard blockade runners with empty rifle casing engine nozzles, then toothpick Colonial Vipers,  Literally, anything that I could tape or glue together that I could turn into a spaceship. Then honest to true model kits.  More spaceships and soon, airplanes, some cars, then kit-bashing to make new things.   Learning painting techniques, fabrication and just better ways to make better products.  I had to take babysitting jobs just to feed the beast that plastic model kits became.

​

I was still under sixteen and had to have my Mom drive me to my dealers shop.

​

This went on for years, scaping enough to feed the habit, BUILD MODELS.  Then something happened.  I received my first 3D software, 3D Studio 4.0 for DOS.  The year was 1997 and I found the ultimate fix.  I already had the computer.  I no longer had to scape money and beg my wife, I could just build, and I did. 

 

A new world opened up for me.  Modeling, animating, compositing, a whole new way to express myself.  25 years I have been scratching at this itch, learning new ways, and more and more software and there is no reason that I would ever stop now.
