Steve brings his years of experience from working in film miniatures and more to a passion he has always had to reach the stars. Rockets has always been the first step on this path.
At age 67 work from the studios is winding down but the passion to make things is stronger than ever and he is moving that passion to model aviation and Rocketry.
