If there were chicks present, I'd tell em I was a fireman.  The "hey, you want to come up and see my otoliths," never worked for me when I was single.

Husband to my wife of 3 years, Mollie, and father to my 1 year old daughter Katelynn.

And education pays for a few of the bills, luckily the breadwinning wife is a CPA and manager for one of the Big-4 accounting firms.  M-F, late August - mid June, I teach 5th grade.  One would think it would allow for optimum fishing opportunity but I haven't figured it out yet.

I'm a lowly assistant grounds keeper at Van Damme.

I can't exactly call myself a first responder, unless we account for the "little accidents" in the bathrooms.

Last week we had a moment of embarrassment:

One of the shower stalls had a faulty doorknob.

A kindly camping family had some cloths locked inside.

We fished them out with a litter-picker wand, and all was well.

I got dirty doing it, and now there is a rumor about snakes in the park.

Go figure.

I'm going to start bringing my own tools.

Autodesk is best know for AutoCAD, but we make the software that powers the game industry, movies, etc..."if God didn't build it, one of our customers probably did"

Been a techie since I was 12yrs old, first tech Job at 16 working for Frys.  Career has taken me many different directions in the industry from customer service, IT, administration, etc.   I've worked for companies like HP, Cisco, Sun, etc as a Unix Admin. or IT dude.  Now I am a manager, after a large company swallowed the startup I worked for over the last 5 years.  So, I basically do nothing but answer questions, goto meetings, schedule work, and read NCKA.org all day
