Hi all,

I am fairly new to the board and was wondering what profession people on this board are in.

I am a Toledo Police Officer for the City of Toledo, Ohio. I have been on the dept for 18 going on 19 years and 7 of those years I was on the Motorcycle Patrol Unit until the bottom fell out of the economy and the unit was disbanded.

Thanks

Brad

I'm a PACS (Picture Archival Communication System) Administrator at a medical center. Been involved in PACS since about 1995 in Palo Alto, California where I cut my teeth and moved back home in 2001 to bring the locals into the digital age by designing and deploying a system which we've since refreshed. Hence the handle... PAXMAN.

Legal side - corporate tax lawyer mistake.gif

Boards / Directorships - a few insurance companies and financial services companies.

Personal business - I own a busines which treats waste water, diesel, fuel, LPG and other liquids. We will be coming to a town near you, real soon... if the Chinese don't buy me out first.

When I grow up, sell up or just move on - it is property development for me. Or maybe just a rest subtlelaugh.gif

Cheers - Ian
