I'm 32 yo and live in Sacramento, Ca. I was born and raised here. I have lived here except for 6 years while I worked for AMT in Dyersville, IA. I lived in a town of about 4200 people. Living in Iowa was quite different then California. I never saw so much green and yellow in my life. Or corn!!

I have built models since I was about five or so. Like many, my Dad introduced me to car models. I really enjoy rods and customs today. I enjoy building rod & custom plus stock models as well. I truly enjoyed the Coddington era of cars. My favorite custom car is Frankenstude. A true work of art.

I look forward to doing some resin casting. Hopefully to run with the big dogs. I have started doing a little and hope to do alot more.

I enjoy reading posts from other modelers and seeing their great work. I enjoy talking about cars and models. Plus, talking of my days at AMT. Working at AMT is an experience I will never forget and/or believe. The factory tour I took turned into an interview with John Mueller and Dave Carlock then turned into a dream job. I feel I gained my employment due to the models I showed to them that day.

Besides models I enjoy touring around California. Driving down the PCH and going to the mountains. I enjoy attending full size car shows. Local and nationally sponsored.

Thank you,

Tom
