Location: San Diego, CA Certification Level: L3 NAR Club Memberships: NAR, DART/Tripoli San Diego Biography: My first rocket was a Centuri Javelin circa 1968. In the late 60s and early 70s I built about half of the Estes and Centuri lineups, though I built more than I flew in those days. My first flight as a BAR was on New Year's Day 2009, an Estes D-Region Tomahawk on a D12; I did my L1 and L2 about three months later. Following a series of complex flight attempts in the fall of 2010, I figured it would be easier to go ahead and do my L3, which I finished in March of 2011.
