Help my 9-yr old niece win a prize (free)

AN INTERESTING CHARACTER
See if you can name this person by reading the description of the character. If I (we) can come up with the right answer, my niece will win a small prize from school. PLZ HELP
There aren't many people like him. He has had pet rattlesnakes, worked in the Pentagon, built a crossbow, and learned to speak (yes, speak) Morse code. He knows a lot of Indian lore: he can do beadwork and sandpainting, and make arrowheads. He's a botanist: in college, instead of "wasting" money on cafeteria food, he ate edible plants growing on the campus. He knows and teaches survival skills: he can start a fire with flint and steel in less than five seconds. He plays guitar, recorder and piano. A magazine article about him said, "He seems to know every verse to every song that was ever written." He knows sign language and karate, was a member of Mensa, and can carve rings out of peach pits.
In elementary school, he corrected a teacher's spelling. He won a district spelling bee, and they misspelled his name on the trophy. In high school, he and his friends designed and built rockets that flew several hundred feet. He is now head locksmith for a major aircraft corporation. Who is this character?[/b]

no clue hun. I tried to look up key works on www.biography.com but it does not narrow down the search when you add more words. Now I'll probably think about it all night.

I google searched all kinds of combinations of the keywords in that description you gave. She should be getting extra points, I don't have a clue. Good luck.

Still UN_SOLVED
Sounds like some guy who could have started McDonnell Douglas, which was bought by Boeing several years ago. Haven't read biographies and haven't come across this description or reference to someone like him in anything I've read. His intererests though haven't crossed mine, so I'm out in the cold.
Why is the answer refered to as "who is this character" as opposed to who is this person?
Kevin M
Another wild guess, that Sikorsky or Bell guy of helicopter fame.

A Pentagon survivalist into beadwork and saindpainting, who digs Indian lore and carves rings out of peach pits, makes arrrowheads to use in his crossbow, plays the recorder and piano, won a spelling bee and likes to speak in Morse code who was kicked out of Mensa and has devolved into picking filing cabinet locks in Seattle.
What a pain in the ass this guy must have been on a date. No way could anyone stand to live with him.
I wish I had an answer. Intriguing if not fictional.
Sounds like a Bruce Wayne type.

Seems to be a composition of characters, I think my guesses have already been mentioned:
First guess: Ted Nugent
Second guess: Homer Simpson (he's even been to space)
Third guess: The lockpicking part made me guess to be my favorite scientist genius of all time, well of modern times anyway, Richard Feynman
After that I'm at a loss...
