Hi: I was born and raised in the San Diego area.  I worked in the retail environment for several years moving up to managing my own brick and morter store.  After returning to school to finish a degree program I found a career working in the banking arena networking banks together.  After 20 years I decided it was time to get back into the retail environment and decided the best way to do that was to start an eBay store.

I sell a variety of items. Here are some of the items you will findMaglite Flashlights and accesories, Nite-Ize Flashlight accessories, Pedal Cars, Remote Control Shelby Cobra's, Chosun Stuffed Toys, Watches, Knives, Kitchen Cutlery, CD Japan Mini LP Paper Sleeve collectables and much more.

I have recently purchased a historic home in North East North Carolina that I am working on restoring. I hope to retire there someday. 

I am also an amatuer astronomer.  I am trying to learn the art of astrophotography but I am not very good at it yet. 

I also have an interest in historic ships. I am a member of the San Diego Maritime Museum where the STAR of india is docked along with several other historic ships.  Its also the home of the HMS Surprise the ship used in the movie Master and Commander.
