Think the mix of professions and perspectives on this forum is amazing. Gentlemen all! As for me, I am dad to an awesome six year-old and a freelance writer/advertising copywriter/cook. Have an undergrad in journalism and worked for many years in newspapers and magazines as a writer and editor before switching to advertising as an agency copywriter doing print, radio and television ads for clients big and small. Went back to school in my mid-40s and completed a 1.5-year professional cooking program, worked in catering for a bit, then got hired to build, staff and manage a large cooking school. Found the building was more fun than the managing. :roll:
