33 (next month), married for 5 years (in a few days!), wife is 2 months pregnant.
Lots of hobbies throughout the years, the ones I have stuck with are my reef aquarium and scuba diving.
I own two businesses. My main business is a company by the name of Enhanced Communications that sells, services and installs telephone system, data networks and cabling. My second business started as a way to blow off steam and to bring some cash home after 9/11- I sell ancient coins and antiquities. (My avatar is the reverse of an ancient coin I sold)
For a very brief period I was in the transshipping/wholesale end of the reeftank business. I have probably imported somewhere in the neighborhood of 200 boxes of corals and fish from Fiji, Solomon Islands and a few other smaller islands as well as Florida, Venezuela, Puerto Rico and Hawaii. Only brought in stuff from the Red Sea ONCE, a little rich for my blood because of the minimum order requirements. A lot of fun until my biggest customer decided he was not going to pay me for 10 boxes of fish.
