Hello everyone,
I guess that it's time I stop lurking around in the shadows, like some twisted little peeping-tom, and step out into the light of the community. I've literally been hanging around this place for years, even joining some time ago, but only posting for the first time a couple of days ago. I'm familiar with you all, and I've stuck around for all this time due to a combination of the moderators, the rules, the wealth of information, and the family environment.
I'll try to speak up on occasion, though I'm much more comfortable listening than I am opening my mouth...my foot tends to taste bad after a while. Since I feel that I know all of you interesting folks so well already, I'll bore you all, and tell y'all a little about myself:
My name is Joel. I've acquired half-a-hundred years of life experience here on this spinning orb that we all call home. I've been married for almost fifteen years. I have an 11 year old son.
I attended UA from 89-93 where I received my BA in Communication. I worked in the printing industry for the next twenty years. I've been a full-time woodworker for the last five. I have a 1400-sq-ft shop here at the house, where I build handmade, acoustic steel-string guitars.
I run the soundboard for the choir and praise/worship band at my church. I married up...and my wife is to be commended for being a wonderful mother, for putting up with my shenanigans, and for allowing me to hang all of my Daniel Moore prints in the living room. And those of you who made it all the way through to this point should be commended also 😳
Roll Tide,
Joel
