As I embark on this new journey as your district vice president, and as more events are being scheduled and held, I am looking forward to meeting more of you and supporting the myriad events being hosted throughout District X. I enjoy supporting and participating in all types of gatherings.
I’ll share a little perspective on my modeling background. I have been flying RC for more than 40 years and have been involved with many clubs and flying styles. As a youth, I began flying Control Line with my dad then together we ventured into RC. In middle school, it was model rocketry then back to RC flying at Mile Square Park, where I earned my wings.
In college, I shifted into RC Soaring across many slopes in Southern California. After a break to raise my family, my son got interested in flying and my involvement took off. I joined the boards of various clubs, working to develop the interests of modelers and furthering my addiction with all aspects of model aviation. I’m committed to ensuring that future generations will be able to enjoy modeling as we do today.
I actively support educational STEM programs, such as middle and high school Science Olympiad teams, collegiate design, building, and flying in competitions, such as the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) Aero Design and American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) Design/Build/Fly events. I look for opportunities to bring model aviation to community events with the excitement of flying demonstrations.
My hope is for each of our clubs to also seek to promote model aviation within their communities.
Two December events that I participate in are the Pomona Valley Model Airplane Club’s Toys for Kids fun-fly and the Orange County Modelers Association Toys for Tots fun-fly.
As always, your local associate vice presidents are a resource for you and your clubs. I look forward to having open communication for all members.
As this journey gets underway, you will see me attending events and visiting clubs. There is much to share across this district.
Enjoy everything you build and fly.
