I am now working the dream job of Model Designer at LEGO in Billund Denmark! Below, you can travel a short way back in time to read my bio as it existed before my family and I made the big move. Enjoy!
Hi there! I’m Boone. Thank you so much for checking out my site! I love building with LEGO® bricks and I am a passionate member of the AFOL community! Here at BooneBuilds.com, I share my own creations through photographs, downloadable building instructions and even assembled models and parts packs when possible. Want to know how to get free instructions when they’re released? Read to the bottom of this page to find out how!
I have enjoyed building with LEGO® bricks since I was a very young child in the 1980’s. While I never completely fell out of love with this hobby, the advent of Star Wars LEGO® sets in 1999 and LEGO® Ideas sets a little over a decade later, featuring IP’s such as Back To The Future and Ghostbusters, were certainly milestones that kept me engaged into adulthood.
In recent years, I have enjoyed publishing video content on my YouTube channel, Boone Builds, and I have also had the great pleasure of being a co-host for the Beyond the Brick YouTube channel. I have been incredibly blessed to meet and befriend kindred spirits among the AFOL community while attending fan conventions in the Pacific Northwest. I have also had the great privilege of getting to know employees of The LEGO Group and members of the global fan media community during my visit to the world headquarters of The LEGO Group in Billund, Denmark. I am a member of the Portland LEGO® User’s Group (a Registered LUG) and the Troutdale Build League.
Perhaps most importantly, I couldn’t do any of this without the incredible community of enthusiasts that communicate online. That’s where you come in! I want to thank you so much for the ways you support me and my art, be it brick-built designs, video content, articles of clothing, or anything else; I wouldn’t be able to create any of this if people like you were not out there to enjoy it!
