Hi everybody.  I am 30 years old and live in Akron, Ohio, with my wife and our pug dog.  I build mostly 1/72 and 1/48 aircraft with a Canadian bent.  I am the former president of my local model club and I am currently the IPMS/USA Secretary.  In real life I am an attorney, but please don't hold that against me.  Besides modeling I am also a pilot and have been published in a few aviation magazines.  Thanks to Steve B. for running a great site!  If it wasn't for ARC (and a few other great sites) I might get more modeling done:)

My winter traveling home.  It is sometimes hard to get any modeling done as parts keep falling through the floor.  This proves my wife wrong...you can live in an airplane!
