'''Name:''' Kevin Clague (Username: kclague)

'''Age:''' 54 (as of 2012)

'''Location:'''	Owatonna, MN USA

'''History with LDraw:'''
Kevin started using LDraw in 1998 when the first Mindstorms Sets were
introduced.  He was contacted by a publisher that wanted to publish LEGO books.
It was decided that LDraw, L3P and POV-Ray would be used to create the
instructions. Kevin wrote a perl script to automate much of the image generation process.  Later he converted this to a rudimentary C++ GUI program - today known as [http://www.kclague.net/LPub/ LPub (LDraw Publisher)]. He is currently working on version 4, a complete tool for laying out building instructions.

Kevin was a charter member of both the LDraw Standards Committee (LSC), and the LDraw Steering Committee (SteerCo).  Kevin has co-authored four books on the topic of LEGO, three are building instructions books, and the fourth is the first book dedicated to the LDraw family of tools.

'''Related interests:'''
Kevin's LEGO Dark age ended in 1998 when the LEGO Mindstorms set was
first introduced.  Kevin is a computer engineer and does both software and hardware at work. The programming for LPub is very different than the kind he does at work, so it is a nice change of pace.

Kevin is an avid fan of technic and robotics LEGO products.  He specializes in making walking and crawling creatures, especially ones made out of pneumatics.
