Ty,

It is funny to conjure up images of green eye-shades and a 993.

But I should talk. Before I became a full-time architect, I was a tax manager at Arthur Andersen & Co (5.5 years) specializing in property tax, tax credits and depreciation.

Now if you think that is a weird switch (CPA to architect), before AA&Co, I was a civil engineer designing nuclear structures (7 years).

Things we have to do just for the dough.

Before becoming a realtor five years ago I was a CEO of a small manufacturing company for 20 years making robotics that struggled more than it should.

Chris,

I'll refer anyone looking out in that area. I have a friend, a photographer, in Palo Alto who may be looking soon.

Everyone - does that sound like a good idea?

I have attached the link for the application below. I guess we should ask John D. to make the application rather than one of us.

Caveman,

I already sent John D. the LindedIn group link a couple days ago. He said he'll look into it. As for now, for us on LinkedIn, or planning to join, in your hobbies/interests area, type in "Rennlist", then, when someone does a search, your profile will show up. It's the only way I can think of doing this through LinkedIn without having the "group" account set-up.

The account is actually free, unless we add it to LinkedIn's directory...

Hi Jeff,

Good job! I think the free group is a great idea and if it is not publicised in their directory that may be an advantage; keep it low key... ;-)

I'll add Rennlist as a hobby for now.

Cheers,

David

Great thread!

I am a sales guy in wholesale electrical distribution. I cover utilities and the industrial/commercial areas. I also run a few rental homes in the Seattle area on my own time.

I used to chase dot-coms selling Sun, Oracle and Veritas "back in the day"

Before that I designed manufacturing facilities and systems for advanced aerospace composites.

Wo Ho!

Next week I go to San Diego to observe housewives set up a wireless network. Essentially, we're professional voyeurs.
