7 Random Things That You May Not Know About Me

October 16, 2007 · Posted in Blogging 

I have been tagged by Daylle Deanna Schwartz at Lessons from a Recovering Dormat to participate in the meme asking to share 7 random things that you may not know about me and then tag other blogs. I’ll give it my best shot.

1. I am an Army brat and as a result we moved around – a lot! In fact, I attended ten different schools before I graduated from high school. Personally, I enjoyed it and feel that that moving and adapting to new environments made me a more versatile person.

2. My current field of employment is industrial maintenance (I’ve got an incredible entrepreneurship thing going on the side as well), even though I have bachelor’s degrees in Finance and Animal and Dairy Science. I enjoy work that stimulates my mind, my creativity, my problem-solving skills, my people-skills and my hand skills.

3. I live in rural Alabama. My wife and I own a 53 acre horse farm with thirteen horses, three dogs and one miniature donkey named Pedro. I don’t take the time to ride much anymore (this blogging thing plus traveling all over the country to demo and promote the Rotater consume all of my spare time).

4. We built a custom, timber frame home about 3–4 years ago and I contracted part of it myself. I operated the crane that set all the timbers. My father-in-law and I handled all of the electrical, telephone, television and computer wiring for the house. And I built custom cabinets for the kitchen from beautiful walnut hardwood.

5. I recently went to Las Vegas to demo and promote the Rotater at the PGA fall Expo. We stayed in the Mandalay Bay Hotel and I did not gamble any. It’s not that I didn’t want to. But after being on your feet all day, answering questions and giving demos, I was just ready for some rest.

6. About six years ago, my wife and I went to Maui for a week-long vacation. That was when I decided that I would own a home or condo there someday. With the response we are receiving from the Rotater, it may be quicker than I thought.

7. On Father’s day of this year, my wife took a pregnancy test and we found out that we were expecting our third child. We just found out that we are having a baby boy to go along with our two beautiful daughters.

Okay, there are seven things about me that you probably did not know. I am going to extend this meme to three bloggers that I am sure will have interesting things to add. I am tagging:

    Chris:

    I really enjoyed reading the 7 things people didn’t know about you. When I participated in that meme months ago, I had fun with it.

    Congrats on getting closer to your dream home in Hawaii. That is absolutely awesome! Now I have a place to stay when I go there, right? :)
