    Makerfarm Users Bragging Rights: What's your Occupation: (just plain old curiosity..)

    A few of us Makerfarm users have gotten off topic a few times talking about ourselves instead of our printers. We have some very interesting people here with a huge range of skills and past lives. We get little peeks behind the curtain now and then and it's tantalizing. So, if you are inclined and want to thump your drum, do so here. Don't be afraid to brag a bit. After all, we rarely get to do that and still maintain our reserved manner.

    So, have at it. Tell us why "you are so cool." I think we'll be surprised in a nice way...

    I have a hobby addiction.... Fully automated brewery in my garage and a collection of scratch-made quadcopters.

    I am a lifelong general contractor but I recently changed course and now work as a construction project manager for a large community college.

    My main hobby is collecting and restoring pinball machines and playing somewhat competitively. Also, woodworking. Also game emulation and mame rigs. Also building and paddling kayaks. Also, I spend a lot of time playing with my dog. One or the other comes to the forefront depending on season and interest. Except the dog, that's pretty much year round.

    --Degree in Industrial Design in 1985.
    --Worked 1 year in small ID consulting firm that went belly up and I had to find a job. Had done some design work with 35mm cameras and fancied myself as a good amateur photographer so I started a photo studio in 1986.
    --Was picked up by an agency in 1988 and ran a 4-shooter studio doing national commercial accounts (Fila, McCormick/Schilling, London Fog, Bill Blass, Coca-Cola, Ellesse Footwear, Black & Decker, Dentsply Pharmaceutical, etc.) till 1995. Specialized in 8x10 film special effects before we had Photoshop.
    --1995 got first computer, saw 1st 3d program, fell in love, quit photo studio and started 3d animation studio. Have done 3d animation and illustration ever since.
    --2013 got into reprap 3d printing and here I am. Now use the 3d printer to produce prototypes for design clients.
