If a testamonial is any help…

Dan Rubin has been a huge presence on the AFOL scene, showing fantastic enthusiasm for all things Lego and especially space. He was enormously helpful in getting my won NeoClassicSpace.com project off the ground, and he has constantly proven himself to be a model AFOL, both in his creative building and community activities.

As a builder, he is notable for his ambitious projects, which can be very large, impressively detailed, humorous, and highly original. Through his Galactic Inquisition theme, he has been among the Space builders who really develop their own building identity within the larger theme through completely original subthemes.

Of course there are plenty of top-level Space builders, and where Dan truly stands out from the crowd has been in his capacity and natural talent as a community leader. He has been active in his local lug, WAMALUG for many years now (including a stint as a LEGO Ambassador), and has taken on responsibilities for organizing window displays at local stores. He has also taken lead in planning and managing various public displays at the National Air and Space Museum on the National Mall.

Dan has also been involved in many large scale LEGO conventions, taking the reins as Space coordinator, in a role that requires organizational as well as people skills. Dan has a good sense of how to resolve potential conflicts within the community, being diplomatic and decisive, as situations require.

Dan is highly active in the online community, on Flickr, Classic Space, and most recently has joined the ranks of the Brother Brick bloggers. He has a good eye for quality builds and distinguishing between the many impressive MOCS and those creations that truly stand out for their originality and creativity.

Dan has served successfully as LEGO Ambassador for a few years already, representing both Classic Space and WAMALUG. He has developed close connections with key people in the Company, and chosen to take on leading roles in Ambassador programs. His continued service as Ambassador for another year would allow him to continue his valuable work in bridging the gap between company and consumer, and would be of great benefit to all involved.
