I am kinda curious as to what everyone around here does for a living. I reconize screen names but don't really know anything about anyone.
I'll start this off I guess.
Despite my last name being the same as that of my company. I am not the owner, the business is owned by my father and uncle. I myself am actualy a computer programmer. I got a degree in business information systems and worked for a consulting company doing contract work for the state for a few years. I hated the slow pace, looking at a screen all day, and there was some shady stuff going on at the place I was working. About 9 months ago I left to work for the family business. I now do sales of compact tractors and implements under 60HP, when I am not selling I maintain and develope the computer systems at the store. I grew up on this stuff so its been a really easy transition despite the radical job change. This industry is a totally different world than what I was used to and I would never choose to go back. In my free time I enjoy playing paintball, skiing and photography.
