After many years of working in body shops, I am now just another firefighter.

College Athletics for 22 years! Currently, Associate Athletics Director at Virginia Tech, beginning my 15th football season. I am new to Corvettes and new to this board. I am trying to learn as much as I can before I make my first purchase. I am interested in the C1s (1961 in particular) but am getting more and more interested in the C2s.

Good to have a new Hokie. I'm a Nittany Lion but I grew up in Blacksburg on Progress Street and my Dad was a professor at Tech for 16 or 17 years.

kinda ho-hum
Well compared to all you other guys , I am almost reluctant to share.
I guess there not much exciting about swooping over the Blue Ridge Mountains of Western NC at 140 knots....zooming in on a dark tree lined LZ ( landing zone). Picking up a trauma patient and flying back to a level I trauma center preforming aggresive intervention on the way.
I am retired from all that am full time Director of a ministry that provided Ambulances, medical supplies and trainig to mostly Third World Countries with out charge.
Life is wonderful and exciting, especially cruising in my 63 vert.
Blessings

Job Duties
I work in the fire protection industry, (automatic fire protection sprinklers) I started in this business in 1973 after 2 years of college. In 1989 myself and 2 other associates started our own company and sold it in 1995 to an investment group. I currently work in the business and look forward to retiring in a few years. My duties range from sales to project management.

I'm retired after 32+ years with the local sheriff's department. One of my jobs there was flying law enforcement helicopters (search&rescue, chasing bad guys, etc). I currently teach at community college and for the state. I'm also a volunteer aircrew for the Collings Foundation which operates a fleet of vintage aircraft including a B17, B24, and B25.

Worked in an automotive machine shop in NJ for 15 years. Then decided I wanted to eat on a regular basis and joined the U.S. Border Patrol in 1982. Became a firearms instructor for Uncle Sam in 1988 and finished my government career on the FBI Joint Terrorism Task force and retired in 2004. Decided to go back to work at a local NAPA in 2006. Still there three days a week.
