Hi there, everyone!
I was inspired to visit this board today when I received a "Happy Birthday" email from the PWI board. It occurred to me that I never updated my email address on this board, so that would be why I didn't receive the same email from here. So, here I am. I thought I was gettin' old, until I see that Mr. Flynn just turned 41 a few weeks ago…..lol.
I have been out of the business since late 2005. In early 2005, I started working as a salesman for a home improvement company (sound familiar, Dan??). For the rest of 2005, I still ran my business with the help of two full time employees. After that, I pretty much gave up. In the spring of 2006, I did about $10,000 worth of work, mostly wood restoration, on a part-time basis.
I still have all of my equipment, and from time to time, I am tempted to dive back into it part time, but I never seem to make it that far.
In Nov of 2005, I went to work for a heating and air conditioning company as a salesperson, otherwise known as a "Comfort Advisor." I received some pretty comprehensive training, and even know how to completely design a duct system. Last year, I stepped away from sales and took a job with a larger company as a Maintenance Technician. Now, I am getting my hands a little dirty each day again (dirty, not COLD, WET, AND DIRTY) …..but I am also still able to sell on a limited basis, since we offer numerous devices to improve Indoor Air Quality.
I am very happy with my new line of work, but every now and then I miss power washing……mostly decks.
As far as family goes, I have now been married for 11 years and as you know have two sons, Brian and Kyle. They are now almost 9 years old, and 4 years old……which, of course, happened very fast!
I hope all is well with all of you, your businesses, and your families! If anyone would like to contact me, I can be reached at sbnetwork at Comcast.net
Take care.
