OT - What do you do for a living?
So since I am new and enjoy the vast knowledge I get off these forums I thought I would get to know some of you more as I go down that enjoyable road being an M5 owner. I see we have so many people from all over the world and it would be cool to know what everyone does, profession wise.
I'll start off.
29 Years Old
I'm a Director of Online Marketing for a online company. (About 2 Years Now)
Own a Sports Bar here in Houston (6 Years)
Computer consulting work (Since I was in College)

I'm a graphic designer in Long Island, New York. Started this job not 3 months ago. Worked as a designer/production artist for about 10 months at a sign shop, but I got bored, started to dislike my boss, and it was a dead end job anyways.
Have way too many plans, but I'm being careful not to get burned out. I'm still young, time is on my side....for now.
So you have a sports bar? What's it called? I'd love to have a rock n' roll / heavy metal bar one day
