Meet the Team

Luke Yarbrough

I have been involved Radio Controlled hobbies for nearly 30 years. I have experience in all facets of the hobby. I was given the opportunity to own a hobby store recently so I had to take advantage of that opportunity to continue the BMI legacy and work in the industry I love. I will continue to place customer service and satisfaction at the top of my priority list and hope to continue to earn the business of the local hobby community. Thanks to all the past customers for your support and I look forward to meeting many new faces in the years to come.

I was introduced to R/C planes about 2-1/2 years ago by a 30 year veteran in the hobby and have been a fan ever since. I also have some 25 years experience in other hobby industries. I love the opportunity to be involved in the building phase of an r/c project. I am driven by discovering what people want and need and becoming a part of making it happen. I enjoy being a part of the team at BMI Hobbies and the opportunity to grow in the R/C world.

Tom Conte

Having never outgrown the hobby since I built my first model rocket in 1960, I have fun with everything. Presently I’m flying electric R/C pIanes and helis. I was very lucky to find full time employment in the industry starting in 1991 with a full-line hobby store. I became a buyer and have visited most of the large distributors that serve every store in the country and have attended many trade shows. If the name is familiar, I have written many product reviews and articles for a number of magazines, have models on a few websites, and entered a number of contests. Working with BMI Hobbies will give me the opportunity to bring our customers the service they expect and to introduce them to new and exciting products. Blue Skies!
