More About David, In His Own Words:

tl;dr Old Guy rambling.

Multiple people have told me I had to tell readers something about myself. I assumed they meant something interesting, which feels unfortunate to me, but I’ll give it a whirl.

I find many things interesting and have engaged in a plethora of hobbies in my life. Since the ’60s I have built static models of almost any subject—tanks, airplanes, spaceships, Gundam, cars. I’ve also built and flown model and high-powered rockets. And I owned a hobby shop for a few years on the side.

I was big into astronomy back in the ‘70s and still have a couple of telescopes that unfortunately haven’t seen starlight in decades.

Collecting and shooting firearms has been fun—I’ve scored reasonably well in service rifle matches. I mostly read military history, science fiction, Bible, forum postings, and program code. I’ve studied a lot of code at work. Some of it was not particularly good which can be a little distressing when I’m the author of said code.

I haven’t read a lot of fantasy beyond Tolkien—but to establish my bona fides, in high school I had a German Shepherd named Eowyn and a framed poster of Middle Earth hanging in my bedroom.

I’ve been interested in the martial arts since watching David Carradine in Kung Fu when it first aired.

My life has always included music in one form or another. My earliest memories include sitting in my little rocking chair while listening to Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture on the record player. From around 1970 through last Tuesday, I’ve played the drums. (I suppose I play at a semi-professional level, but I’ll let the rest of the rhythm section make that call.)

But more important than hobbies and music is Her Hotness and my family. And last, but not least by any stretch of the imagination, the One.
