[jinxs]

33 years young...my job role is a little bit of this, a little bit of that. Primarily, I am I&M as well as Systems Engineer and Sales Consultant. Since my dad worked for AT&T, I was installing JK cables and jacks at the credit union at 10. Yet, I started pulling and was getting paid for it at 18 part time and was hired full time at 20....I guess you could say I have been in the business all my life, yet getting paid for it for 13 years.
