Reintroduce Yourself

[bic]

With the recent rise in activity and new faces contributing within the Orlando forum, I figured it might be nice to get to know a bit more each other. To avoid this thread from looking like a collection of personal ads, lets try to keep the info mostly to things like current occupation, maybe what you studied in college, and where you've lived-- not hobbies, marital status, full name, etc. Let's just keep things [quasi] professional for now. I'll list some questions below so you can copy+paste them and fill-in your response:
