Re: Spotlight On! [Tag your it]
Okay, I'll bite.
I'm Dave, I've been married 22 years and have two young girls.
I'm a retired Air Force Explosive Ordnance Disposal (E O D) --military bomb squad--technician. I retired from the military, not the work force.
I am the extended family's computer geek... And did that even when I was stationed 3000 miles away. Thanks to Bill Gates for 'Remote Assistance'--really! 
After the Air Force I went to work for Adelphia doing internet tech support and was there for the transition to Time Warner Cable (Roadrunner). Was laid off when TWC closed Coudersport PA operations. I worked in a factory until very recently.
I play the guitar and struggle with the mandolin. I enjoy hiking, hunting and fishing.
I must admit that I do use bait on my hook.  I suppose if I were a professional fisherman I would stand knee deep in icy water for weeks on end trying to grab a fish with my bare hands--that way we would all know that I earned my meal the natural way. 
But I digress.
Who's next?
Dave

Ooo does that mean i'm tagged ! hehe
Ok, Im boring but here goes....
My name is Ron, Im 32 years old. Born in Wisconsin raised in Michigan. After a brief stay at MSU, I got a job working for a Outdoor recreation equipment manufacture. we made canoe & kayak paddles, but were the main distributors for the kayaks, boats, boat motors.. etc.... i eventually worked My way up and started designing the paddles, going on the trade shows etc.... I was engaged to be married. everything was great ! Then I was diagnosed with cancer, and there went the job and the woman. After battling that and the depression that followed, after some years I am finally getting back out into the world, Have met a wonderful woman. who is also a cancer survivor, meet her by chance. and after one night of talking that was that.. however her cancer has returned, and we are dealing with that the best we can. the cost of it is the hardest part right now. having been through it myself I thought I knew what to expect, but going through it yourself and watching someone you care about go through it are two entirely different things ! but even with all that going on it's still the happiest time in my life
ohh I have to add a pic hmm... Ok this is a few years old, and technically its not even a pic, i stuck my head in the scanner

Or a lot of drive, determination, and the ability to research what business models have worked for others.
Quiglag good luck with the endeavor!

said by Quiglag :I tag myself. Don't hold me to it, but I am looking into the possibility of starting a Pentax lens rental company. I know a lot of Pentax users would like a place to be able to rent from. You are going to want a college business degree with a possible photography minor to do something like that and be profitable. |

My name is Chris. I am 24, born in northern California, but we moved to SoCal a year later, where I still live today. I have had an interest in music my whole life, and in elementary school started playing the song flute; it was something the whole school did to introduce music to us. After that I was hooked. I started to play the trumpet in the elementary school band, and continued up through high school. I was in the marching band, concert band, Jazz band.
When I was young I got a little keyboard from selling tickets in cub scouts. Slowly throw the years moved up to bigger and bigger versions, but never took a lesson. The last 5 years I really started to play keyboard more and more, making up my own songs, and playing stuff I heard on the radio. I tried to record some of my stuff, but I couldn't get the midi to work right. I will have to try again and get it working. Last month I finally started to take piano lessons.
I didn't know what I wanted to do out of high school, so I ended up working with my dad doing finish carpentry. The company installs high end commercial woodwork(cabinets, doors, millwork). You might have seen some of our work if you have been to the new Claim Jumper Restaurants in Illinois, Oregon, or Arizona. Most of the work we do is in resorts, and hotels. I like the work that I do, and am proud of it, but I cant stand waking up so early in the morning. Don't hold me to it, but I am looking into the possibility of starting a Pentax lens rental company. I know a lot of Pentax users would like a place to be able to rent from.
Probably like most of you, I came to BBR because of the Internet stuff they offer, and spotted the photos on the front page. I have always been interested in cameras, and photography, but didn't really get started until I got my first digital camera a few years ago. It was a P&S, but all of your work inspired my to get better at photography, and this year I bought a DSLR.
