www.VansAirForce.net (VAF)
In 1996 I started what would become VansAirForce.net (VAF). Its focus is on those building and flying 'RV' kit airplanes from Van's Aircraft. From 1996-2002 with help from RV mentor extraordinaire Jay Pratt, our RV-6 was completed and flown on 9/17/2002. Working both from home and remotely, I publish ‘The VAF News' Monday thru Friday and am the administrator of the site. This has been my primary job since 2007 (the two decades before that I worked in I.T.). With over 35,000 registered VAF forum accounts and tens of thousands of unregistered 'lurkers', if you are looking for Van's Aircraft RV community, friendship, mentors and motivation, you'll find many 'RVators' here capable of doing just that.

PS:
My wife co-founded and runs a small non-profit that offers FREE yoga classes via Zoom to people fighting cancer (www.YogaBridge.org). Specialized yoga for cancer classes to complement treatment for cancer and recovery. Take part in an online yoga class from the comfort of your own home.

If you’re battling cancer, or are in remission, please feel free to attend these online classes. The don’t cost you a penny. A few donations come in yearly to mostly cover the cost of the instructor. YB operates at a loss, but it’s not about the money. It’s about helping people who need help. They are there if you need them.

She was interviewed for an article in Oct of 2025. Here is the link.
