As a young boy, John was taught about the modeling by his father. This passion for modeling led him to later teach modeling theory and practice at the elementary, middle, and high school levels.
John has been building fine scale models for nearly 35 years. He builds models with great attention to detail, using the highest quality materials and matching as closely as possible the real thing.
His fine craftsmanhip and attention to detail have earned him numerous awards and widespread appreciation and respect for his work.
What has long been a hobby is now his profession. Drawing upon his success, John has expanded into new fields, offering consulting services, teaching, seminars, exhibitions, as well as continuing to teach modeling theory and practice to the young generation interested in this work.
