I am a 38 year old retired Computer Scientist, and an AFOL who has loved LEGO since I was very young. I fondly remember my great grandmother knocking over my Knights Stronghold (6059) set at least once a week while helping me clean my room. Ahh good times.
I now have a 5 year old of my own and I have passed my love of LEGO down to him. We try to build a new set at least twice a month. I believe that aside from the bonding experience, building LEGO helps hone his fine motor and problem solving skills.
I'm looking forward to connecting with fellow LEGO lovers, and continuing the tradition of building and community that we all enjoy!
