Location: Orlando, FL | I've worked in graphics for over 25 years (I started young, really!). My background is in graphic design, illustration and lettering design for print. Nine years ago I left a corporate art department to freelance. Now I call myself a multimedia designer because nobody really knows what the hell that means.
One of the things I do is design content (theme design, logos, animation, presentations, collateral material, etc.) for those national tradeshows, conventions and exhibits that people like Cliff create.
I also do interactive design (CDs, Kiosks, DVDs, websites) and animation and motion design.
Every once in a while I'll design a calendar, but only if it's got lots of cool guitars in it! :D |

Location: Waurika OK | My day job, night job and weekend job is a preacher. Flexible, but uncertain hours. Not complaining, I love it.
As long as there are people; preachers, lawyers and P.I's will always be in demand.
Of course, wannabe guitar player. Received a compliment yesterday, was trying out guitars at Jerry's Guitars in Lawton and a young lady said, "Quit stopping to change guitars and just keep playing." Made my day. |

I spent the first twenty years working my way up the enlisted ranks to the rank of Chief Quartermaster (E-7) before receiving my commission in 2001.
Didn't plan on making this a career, but I've enjoyed it too much to retire (yet).
Merry Christmas all !!! |

Location: Tennessee | I'm part of a small company who happened to build some software that big companies and federal government departments seem to like. My primary role is exhanging our software for other people's money. It was three of us in 2001 and now its 75. We should double again this year. This is the backup plan in case the Super Lotto numbers don't hit. |

Location: Las Vegas, Nevada | I have spent nearly 30 years selling ridiculously expensive professional audio products to producers, engineers, artists, and tour sound companies. Have had a couple of diversions which took me to public relations, professional fundraising, and even a little politics and government work, but keep coming back to the music, sound, and recording business. Through all of this, I have always enjoyed the guitars. |

Location: Orange County, California | I'm pretty new (3yrs) at the last job I'm ever gonna have. It's kinda like MIB, or the Matrix: There was no turning back once I started (it's that good). I sell industrial power transmission and motion control equipment used in automated process/assembly equipment on everything from food packaging to automotive assemby equipment. We are essentially guns for hire in the outside sales arena. Some of the products we sell are no-brainers that people (some of you) buy through PT/bearing houses already, others are highly engineering intensive applications that can turn into long term projects (like the machines Intel uses to test and grade it's processors). So I spend my days primamrily doing applications engineering and sales support for for our outside guys. I'm the primary point of contact for one of our lines IMC Camco/Ferguson on the west coast, I co-adminster (I finally got some help) our CRM software server, and I'm the de-facto IT guy in the office. I'm well compensated, and hope to be an owner some day. |

Location: Houston, TX | Regional sales manager in the healthcare division for a company that makes and sells a ton of storage related stuff. Shelving, crash and medication carts, lab furniture - stuff like that.
I got into sales 15 years ago by default, not career choice. College drop-out, moved from a small town in NC to Houston, needed to make some bucks - you know the drill. When I reached my thirties and started to realize I'm probably not going to be a rock and roll star, I had serious concerns about being "in sales" from now on. I had to deal with one of the rogue thoughts that slips in uninvited - "is this it?" I'm ok with it now. Our customers help sick people get better, and if I can serve that process without succumbing to the temptations of greed that make a lot of people do wrong - then I'm ok with that.
I still wish "guitar noodling", "research on random subjects", and "reflection while sitting by bodies of water" were coveted,well-paying careers.
Happy Holidays to you all. Hug em if you got em. |

| My fancy title for the work I do is a "Museum Exhibit Specialist" I work for The Resource Center in charge of the many Historic Sites throughout New York State.
My job title does not require me to do as many of the things I actually end up doing for these sites...I have been invloved "unprofessionaly" in area History since a child so I am pleased to be allowed to build Scale Models and Dioramas and at times Custom Woodcarvings to add that extra touch in some of the exhibits I am building or when old furniture needs to be returned to its original beauty at these sites. My main duty's are in the manufacture of the cases and cabinets, used to display this states wonderful historic collections.
I recently had the privilage of carving missing parts of the podium in the "Assembly Chambers" in our State Capitol Building. It is a great job most days, but it has it's personel problems and it is a long drive every day. But like most of us It is still not making a living playing music so it is not my dream job!
What a cross section we have in this membership!
