Biography:

First launched rockets as a kid growing up south of San Jose, CA.  Never really serious or consistent.  Have sporadically launched over the last several years as my son has been in first, Y-Guides and now Boy Scouts.  Have now officially caught the bug and have built my first HPR (LOCPrecision Norad Promaxx), which I will be using for my L1 cert.  Have been using Open Rocket to designa dual deploy, 54mm scratch build to use for my L2 cert.  No timeline for that.  Just depends on money flow and when I can afford the parts.
