    Sales Manager at a New Car dealership. Started out in the business as a mechanic working in my father's dealership, worked my way up through the ranks to being his partner until we sold our place a couple of years ago. Now I work for someone else, have less worries, and sleep better at night! Wife's happier too!

    Network Engineer for a Cisco partner. I spent 4 hours on the phone with Cisco yesterday when one of our 7609s lost a 4-port 10gig module. I like Cisco hardware and IOS. Lately, I've been messing with ACE's. I also spent 4 hours on the HAMB while the phone tech engineer looked at the switch.


    And for anyone else, yeah, I know what's wrong with your internet, no, I won't look at it for you...

    So.. I don't know if I should respond seriously or like some of the others. The REALLY scary part is that it's difficult to tell who is serious about what they do!!! ;)
    I mean.. "stunt man in the adult film industry".. sure!
    But.. "operate a floral shop"? No way.
    Kidding Guys. Semi-retired sounds good.
    Since 1998 I teach information technology college students things like intro to computer programming, PC hardware repair and network technology. Before that I spent 14 years in the I.T. industry. Before that, 10 years or so running a small collision repair / body shop.
    Now I get to play with my cars with no pressure of time to complete. Sweet.
