Model ship builder and 3d Design

I have been a semi-professional model ship builder since 2012 and have engaged in model building since my youth. Constructing small models helps me maintain attention to detail. This experience led to my involvement in a program where I created and oversaw a 3D design and build project for the Tongue Point Job Corps in Astoria, OR between 8/2018 through 01/2019. When we delivered the final tug and barge.
