I think this is a fantastic idea. At some point, it might be advantageous to have a list/chart of the professions and who the individuals are - as opposed to combing through this thread to try to find a person you remember seeing. Just a thought.

I am a partner at Achievement Tec, in Dallas, and I'm in charge of Business Development, Sales and Marketing. We are an HR solution company that offers 'Job-fit' personality assessments, applicant tracking systems, and background and drug services. We help companies hire the best potential applicant they can by assessing their skills and background before they are hired and not after.

I offer our most widely used assessment, The Achiever, to prospects for free to see just how accurate our instrument is. I would be happy to extend that offer to any business owner or hiring manager here on this site.

Eric, you have my dream job! I'm an avid diver and underwater photography dilettante.

I'm not sure what to write here. I was involved in the automotive locksmith industry in various aspects as an owner for nearly 15 years. Sold off the local business in 2007 and the nationwide business in 2012. It was a great opportunity for me to be around cars and car dealers for a very long time. I took a year off after the sale from doing anything too serious. I was helping a close friend organize his auto parts importation business as something to keep my mind busy. I am now in the process of launching a similar importation type auto parts distribution company. My focus is on Toyota/ Lexus/ Scion, Nissan/ Infiniti and Kia/ Hyundai crash parts (new OEM parts for crash related use). I suffer from organizational OCD which will hopefully keep the train on the tracks so to speak. Currently 38 and in a relationship for 3.5 years with a girl that is way too sweet for me and residing in the Miami area...

It's not everyday that you get to toot your own horn...so hold on bro's...

20 year military veteran, 6 as a Squid, 14 as a US Marine. I rode a US Navy ship in sea state 6, after a hurricane blew up the coast of Virginia. Steamed through the Red Sea trolling for mines in the mid 1980's. Special task force in Beruit Lebanon, 1984 when the Embassy Annex was bombed. Back to college, then I was fortunate enough to earn my "Wings of Gold" and become a "tail-hooker", eventually flying F/A-18's in California. I have been supersonic at 500 feet above the desert floor, and 50,000+ feet over the pacific ocean. I have made the sun rise after it had set, as well as the moon rise after it had set. I have flown through the Grand Canyon in my F/A-18, legally, and through "Star Wars Canyon", under the radar. I flew at night, on night vision goggles, shooting live ordnance to include 20mm rounds through the M61 Vulcan gatling gun, dropping 2000 pound high explosive ordnance, shooting Aim-9M sidewinder missiles and other various air to air weapons. I have dropped 6 canisters of Napalm, and 6 Rockeye pods before they became "outdated" by our current weapons inventory of GPS weapons.
Never in harm's way though...when the war started I was toward the end of my military career and posturing to retire. My last job was as a flight instructor in Miramar California.

Now, I fly 757's for FEDEX and continue to live the dream in SoCal.

Now, my biggest kick is driving my car, with other guys who like to drive theirs....and trying to stay ahead of my 20 year old son's times at AX!!

Great thread in a great community.

I have so much appreciation for the service men and the first responders in this thread. It may seem like a worn saying to some but I do believe "freedom isn't free." It is so easy to forget that when we get all wrapped up in our "first world problems" like 964 vs. 993 or do I want Fister Stage II or Stage III!

Here is my bio:

I'm in my 40s and own a small family business that sells COTS-type equipment to the Federal Government, mostly to the military, so I get the pleasure of visiting a number of domestic bases and depots, which are always interesting to see (think the last scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark).

Previously I worked at some .com start ups in SF. Prior to that I worked in finance with a very large IT company (the inspiration for HAL). I mowed greens and tee boxes in college. I owned/operated my first business in high school selling skateboards (like Rich P!) within a small sporting goods store. We had $3,000 in inventory. After a year, my partner and I were able to turn that into $300! But we had an idea, ran with it and learned a lot for two kids who weren't even old enough to drive at the time. And it all started in middle school when I mowed the lawns of most of the houses on my street.

I would be happy to talk with anyone who is in or wants to enter Government contracting. I'd also be happy to talk surfing or skiing or if anyone wants to hear about how great my two boys are.

I'm 33, Mechanical Engineer with degree from UCSD, with a background mostly in manufacturing engineering.
I am currently working on a underwater acoustic releases to disconnect oil rig mooring lines remotely. Pretty cool devices, they weigh more than a 993 and are rated to hold 1.35 million pounds of tension. They can release via an acoustic signal at distances over a mile under the water.

I dabble in car parts that I can make at home on my small benchtop mill. I also own a full CAD suite so if anyone has any small projects they would like assistance with, I would be glad to help.

Dude...tension of 1.35 million pounds!! thats pretty cool to be released remotely...and underwater, acoustically no less

I have a buddy back in Ohio who is an Electrical Engineer, car nut, and has had his company recently purchased by a German Corporation. He is currently being retained by that Company, but he wants to relocate out here in SoCal. Needs a job out here first...Anyone? Anyone? Bueler?
