| Location | Pensacola, Florida, United States |
| Introduction | I have been in the hobby industry almost my whole life. I became involved in the family business at the age of 4, bagging beads for our craft department. By the time I was in High School I was manager of the Plastic Models department. After college I worked for Military Model Distributors in Dallas, TX, working my way up to Wholesale Sales Manager. I then did a stint in the Art department at Squadron Signal where I did the color profiles for 2 Walkaround series books. I then ran C&S Hobby Distributors for a few years until the UPS strike killed it off. I then worked for Phil's Hobbies, one of the largest and best model stores to ever inhabit the Dallas area. In 2001 I moved back to Pensacola to take over the family business. |
