I do break-fix support for a small company in St. Louis. About 4,000 desktops,laptops,printers,networks etc. Saturday mornings, I work for a guy that owns a small car lot. He buys cars from auctions and calls me to fix electrical problems like won't start, windows stuck, replace radiator stuff.  Played with electronics since I was little, still don't know what I'm doing.  I still check 9v batteries with my tongue.

I've been an architect for the past 18 years and decided to go out on my own a little over a year ago after countless years of dealing with problems created by my bosses and 50+ hour work-weeks.  In doing so, I've branched out a little and now I'm an architect, contractor and developer working out of the house in the Atlanta, GA area.  I should have done it years ago! Just getting rid of the 2+ hour daily commute make's it worth not working for someone else and now any stress that I have is of my own doing. I have jobs in the Savannah area that take me out of town every few weeks but other than that, my time is my own.  I'm selective with the work I take on, so I rarely have even a 40 hour work-week.  Finally, I have a life!

....Here is a photo of my "other" hobby.
