Well, I own my own business www.trademarkwinds.com (still under construction so I need a web designer - hit me up via pm)

We are a home design center. Sale kitchen cabinets, countertops, vinyl siding products, www.fabcrete.com dealer, exterior doors / windows, fireplaces, cultured stone products, hardiplank siding, etc...

I'm also a youth pastor ( http://www.myspace.com/firehouseyouthministries ) at a local church. So if your home or kid is messed up - I'm the guy to see.

I'm also an architectural designer that does a lot of home design and small commercial design work. I spent 4 years prior to opening my own business with Dollar General as their Field Construction Supervisor. Covered a 25 state area for them... The last I heard - I think they've replaced me with over 12 people since that time and have less projects going now then they did when I was there.
