    Reading, computers, cooking and of course modelling. I also run a web site for our City, Oakdale, California. (Sorry it's private) it uses the same software this site does, and exists as a place for the people of Oakdale to let loose and play around. It's a lot of fun. It's pretty much a shore leave site. REAL popular.

Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer since 1998. Microsoft Certified Professional since 1992. Certified Cisco Network Administrator, Internet Security Certified Professional, Security Certified Systems Integration Engineer and a bunch of other alphabet soup.

 

Grew up in Grand Rapids Michigan, in 2003 moved to Oakdale, California. Love the weather. Not the people.

 

Among other computer related jobs including 8 years as a network engineer at Herman Miller in Holland Michigan, owned and operated a successful computer sales, rental and repair store with 3 employees, sold it to move to Ca. Worked as the Chief Information Security Officer of a multi-national LLP. in Or. until 2008 when I resigned and opened a security firm testing companies for security vulnerabilities. Sold that in 2012 for and retired.

 

Went to Le Cordon Bleu Culinary Institute of Paris for a 1 year full time program. I LOVE to cook.

 

Now I do a lot of cooking, eat too much, waddle to the Dry Dock in a spare bedroom and ruin wood.

 

My wife is a Registered Critical Care Flight Nurse. CCRFN. She rides in the back of an air ambulance into Yosemite National Park and saves lives. BOY DID I MARRY UP!!! I love you Mary Ann Adams. AKA the Admiral.

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
