Was an Electronics Technician for Ford MoCo for 20 years before they decided to pull out of the US. Now I'm a Controls Technician for a major Medical Device company for the past 10 years.
Where my CPAs at?? (Certified Public Accountant)
Been in public accounting in the cincinnati area for about 10 years.
Hardest thing I've ever had to do is get those three letters tacked onto my name.
If you need tax help ask my wife (she's a CPA too)
If you need a controller, call me. Haha
I make cabinet and house doors in an amish community. Yes I was offended by Tommy's views toward the Amish.
I'm a college trades instructor up in Manitoba, Canada and a Carpenter by trade. It's an amazing job where I get to meet new groups of students every few months. I always mention I'm a pinhead during my class introduction and explain that it won't get ya better marks but if you have any pins for sale, I'm all ears. In my 3 years of teaching I've purchased a Marilyn Taxi and a Williams Joust (believe it or not) from students!! It's also really cool that my "big boss" at the college (the Dean of Construction Trades) is a fellow pinhead that owns 6 machines!

Haha. It's crazy how you'll meet other pinball owners in the craziest places. I was with one of our partners at a happy hour and found out they have had a pinball machine in their basement forever. First they got a starship Troopers then in the early 2000s they bought a TSPP new in box! I was so jealous. He also said in the 10 years they had the TSPP they didn't take off the glass once. Haha. I can't imagine how dirty that thing was.
I design and build things. Some of the things are good (in my view) and some are for pinball. When pinball and "good" intersect I offer the things for sale on my website - http://www.kahr.us.
Here's an example from January of something that is not for pinball: we bought a Dell monitor that is not wall-mount compatible. I designed a replacement for the base of the stand that sits on the backsplash of our desk and is held to the wall by three screws. The monitor's angle can be adjusted just as if it were still on the factory desk stand, but we don't have that stand taking up the real estate the size of a sheet of paper. It scores in my "good" evaluation, but I don't believe there's mass appeal - and it's certainly not relevant to pinball.
