newbie (sorta) intro from Central Kentucky (Lexington)

[Dana Haycox]

Hi, everyone.  My name is Dana Haycox.  I am in my mid forties, and am a husband, and father of three roudy teens.  I am currently working as mold maintence for an injection molding company the produces plastic auto trim.

In my younger days, I did a lot of residential construction, and remodeling. Later I found myself doing real estate appraisal, working for one of the nation's largest and most esteemed appraisal companies.  That is, untill the bubble burst.  I lost my job, and went back to school and picked up a degree in welding (seemed like a good choice at the time, although I wouldn't do it again lol) and that led into CNC machining and tool and die- making, which bring us to my current position.

Now I'm not complaining, considering that I live in Casey county, I make decent money.  But at the end of the month, there's nothing left. We don't live an extra agent lifestyle by any means, and we've cut corners just about everywhere we can, but we still only break even.  So, I've decided to take my fate into my own hands, and break way from the daily grind.

thats why I'm here, I want to use my current knowledge and experience to help jumpstart my drive into a new era.  I'm here to brush up on the techniques, network with others of like mind, and get to making a decent living.  And maybe find some resources that will help me get the job done.

thanks for reading, I look forward to meeting everyone!
