Hobbies

I have many hobbies including robotics, electronics, game development, anime, astrophysics, board & table-top games, indie video games and technology in general. I spend a fair bit of my free time making replica props, robots and costumes from various pop-culture sources.

I enjoy bringing my robots and other projects out to charity events, and often attend pop-culture events such as sci-fi conventions and comic conventions. I also often take and discuss my projects at schools, libraries and other educational STEM events.

A few years ago my R2 was featured in the the Kansas City Star. For more information on my custom Star Wars R2-A7 please check on the following links: Kansas City Star - Entertainment Kansas City Star - Living Kansas City Star - YouTube
