I am a Rocket Belt enthusiast and builder. I have collected pictures and videos documenting the history, construction and milestone flights of rocket belts and jetpacks. I am using this information to build working scale models leading to a full sized unit. The goal is to use rigs and advanced materials to safely proof and evaluate designs.

My goal has been to go from a concept or invention to a reality in the shortest time possible. I have a format small shop (10'x 12') equipped with select tabletop format machines. This allows me to reduce a prototype housing to reality in less than day (so I can meet Fedex). I have Invented or help develop a number of products including iCybie, Hitclips, Videonow, Soundbites, Toothtunes, Gamefinder jr, Petster, BlockBuster Win-In-A-Flash promotional game, and MANY more. My Current personal projects include a Rocket Belt (flying) and Full Sized Lost In Space B9 Robot as a Robot.
