I'm an avid DIY'r and most of the gear on these pages is stuff I've made myself, including the new NC ARES radio trailer, which I co-own with KD2AKX.
My enjoyment in life comes from designing and building certain things which others don't typically do, then using and enjoying the hell out of them. That includes creating, building and improving on complex stuff, like restoring RV's, Boats, Houses, Emergency Communications Trailers, Trebuchets, High Security Locks, high power Rockets, Drones, Ham Radio projects & lots of other stuff fun I'm interested in. Aside from family first, that's the well I draw satisfaction from!
