I am a Transportation Manager for the Ohio Dept of Transportation. Been at it for over 28 years and hopefully I can retire in another year and a half. Aside from that I am the Network Administrator/Computer Tech for our Churches Catholic Grade School, that is basically volunteer work.

I am the Senior Consultant in the Central Region for F5 Networks. Most, if not all, of you have never heard of us, but we are in front of most major websites you go to. My specific tasks these days are scoping work and writing iRules which is pretty cool. I have been with F5 for 5 years and in the IT industry for 15. I have worked as a Network Engineer, System Administrator, and in IT management in the past. I am also tech support for my entire family and than some. :)

I am an IT manager for a production facility in Phoenix. I have been in IT for 15+ years. I went to college to be a Mechanical Engineer. I was an engineer until somewhere along the way I ended up in IT.

I gave up the family tech support badge several years ago. Before that, I was the family mechanic. Moving to Phoenix and away from the family helped.

I've been self employed for the past 20 years.
My first work was for My dad's store, and did the retail for approximately 10 years. Was doing landscaping and exterior maintenance for a while (5+ years) then took my hobby "street racing" and opened up my own speed shop. Took a break from working for myself and got a job and a steady pay check as an "Elevator Renovator". I was making those boxes that go up and down look nice!. I got sick of having to travel to work morning and night so I just told them to keep the job, went to work at a local sign shop that was 4 minutes walk from home for a few years until they decided to sell off to a big company in town that would have meant more traveling morning and night again and for a lower pay! Started my own (sign shop) and I diversified the services and product offered for me to be able to make a good living direct from home. being my own boss, again!. I can play "hooky" when I want and don't have to answer to nobody but me. The company is called EXIT66 Signs & Graphics |

Wolfman sold his Nomad to spend more time with his family a couple of months ago. He's not riding anymore.

Contractor/Carpenter. Self employed. 29yrs. Fiercely independent and extremely diversified. Mostly remodels and repairs. Quality over quantity. I retire every evening and I get tired again the next day. I work because I have to and will probably have to til I die because I like new stuff. Ride every chance I get cuz I don't know when I'll get another chance.
