I am married with three daughters and a son, and I oversee the team of regional workforce policy advisors for the State of California. My wife is an elementary school teacher.

I’ve been building models since I was five years old (my first model was a NASA lunar module bought for a dime from a magazine ad). I’m mostly interested in ships but will happily put together just about anything: tanks, aircraft, figures… I even built an old Aurora White Tailed Deer model a while back. This hobby has been a lifelong pleasure for me – I never seemed to have grown out of it like all of my childhood friends did!
