Hobbies include:
- I'm a Dad. (my number one passion)
- Building and flying battery and nitro powered RC airplanes and Helicopters. My daughters like to join me sometimes and even have a plane of there own to fly.
- 3D Printing. I have a Prusa MK3 printer and am slowly learning a 3D CAD program called Fusion360 which is a very robust program with a free license for hobbyists and small business. Mostly I download others work and tweak it to what I need right now. Have printed a few RC planes that I have purchased the files for with mixed results. Problems were most likely on my end not the files.
- Girl Scouts. I am a leader for my oldest daughters troop (yes I am a Male girl scout leader). I was very nervous to take it on at first but I have been doing it as the leader for 3 years and I was a co-leader for 2 before that. The girls keep asking me to come back the next year as leader so I'm doing something right. I figure as long as my daughter wants me around I will take what I can. She's creeping up on being a teenager soon....
. I also have a great support team of parents that make it so much easier to accomplish everything. The girls like camping and hiking and outdoor stuff. We are working on building Bat houses at the moment.
- Projects. I'm not a big fan of tv so I keep myself busy with projects, from building planes to snake enclosures to designing and building a custom loft bed for my daughter in the garage without her knowing. I include researching things like reptiles as part of my projects.
- Science. I'm a big fan of all things science. And a huge fan of NASA and SpaceX. I got the chance to go to Kennedy Space Center about 18 months ago and i was overwhelmed by the Saturn V they have on display. It was a very emotional experience to finally be standing there. Nothing prepared me for it. If I watch TV (without the wife as she doesn't have my passion for this) its only History or Science related.
- I have a motorcycle and my older daughter loves going for rides. My younger is still afraid of it so I am not pushing her, when she is ready she will be ready. I put a truck with a backrest and arm rests on for my piece of mind while she is on it. My Wife loves to go for rides but that doesn't happen much as we can't leave the kids home alone quite yet.
