I am 45 and married to the same lovely lady for 24 years with 2 teenagers, a yellow Labrador and a Tom Cat...plus numerous neighborhood strays we feed.... I currently live in Texas where I was recently transferred by my hospital system. I am the manager of the Biomedical Engineering program for our facilities in central Texas. I am a graduate of the Newark College of Engineering. I enjoy audio and building furniture...two expensive hobbies. My wife has been patient through it all..... I told you she was a lovely lady! At times I have been able to combine the two hobbies, making speaker cabinet prototypes for several audio designers I became acquainted with in New Jersey where I used to live, bartering services for equipment. I am currently in the process of speaker shopping, and have a sick fetish for large line source designs. My first exposure to the hobby was in my teens when I literally built a pair of speakers into a built in bookcase in my bedroom and assembled several heath kits to cover the usual electronics...at the time I thought it sounded great. Many years later and many upgrades later I am still searching for the Holy Grail. I am a recovering vinyl junky and love classical music and rock/pop.
Who R U?
A while back Garfish mentioned he lked the idea of getting to know some of us better.As no one has started a thread like this before I will take the plunge.I have been involved in and read many heated exchanges here in AudioGon.I hope no one attacks me for this thread saying "who cares about you,this is audio" Anyway,Im 45 and live in W.N.Y.I have never been married but have a music loving 11 year old daughter who lives with me.I have been a nurse for 20 years.Before that I was a Navy Corpsman for several years.I recently became engaged (first time) to a beautiful 30 year old music loving woman.At my age a 30 year old is a keeper and I have never been happier!! My other interests??Im into vinyl,who has time for anything else??
