About me:
Ive always been drawn to RCs and scale modeling ever since I was a wee lad.

It was fuel for the imagination, it allowed the child back then and the child in me now to do and imagine things that might not be possible or plausible in real life.

I can race jet boats, fly a plane, and go rock crawling in a span of a few hrs, 10 min from my house at the local park.

One of the things that changed in the 40 or so years of me playing with toys is the incredible growth of the scale side of land based RCs.

I no longer have to peruse the kids toy sections at big box stores looking for plastic hard bodies for my rcs. Don’t get me wrong, you will still find me cruising through to see if there is anything interesting or new, its just no longer my only option.

Fortunately being in So-Cal has allowed me to compete in many things RC which is what lead to me being part of the factory team here at rc4wd, a company who is actively and willingly supporting the scale RC.

See you on the trails. Stay safe, stay scale.
