Meet the R2R Moderator Team!!

[Captain Quint]

Thanks for all the info gang!

Yeah, no joke. All Y'all do owner/admin & Mods is no joke. It is hard work and the reason we tune in to no spam, ill threads, and IB's...it is a hard job many don't have an idea of all involved. ESPECIALLY on a forum of this size. Honestly, I don't know how just the few can keep up with all the work. I salute all of you!

 

[kschweer]

Dono if your joking

None of them look weird to me
They are really nice hardworking people that take extra time out of their days to make sure the forum doesn’t loose its values and become the Wild West

He’s definitely joking. Alex is good friends with all of us.

You’d be hard-pressed to find a better group of moderators anywhere on this planet! The compassion, they’re fairness to the community and there love of the hobby is second to none!

And yes I was joking!

I'm good brotha, how are things with you?

I have had my ups and downs here lately, my wife has had heart issues and had to have a pacemaker and difibulater, I am certain I spelled that wrong but hopefully you know what I mean. I have also kinda ( a lot ) slacked off on caring for my tank. I hope I can get back on track very soon and get my butt in gear.

It was an honor to serve this great country from 91 to 97. Wait, did I just date myself.

I was fine with everything until this:

oh yeah and Ford buy a Chrysler for Christ's sake!

That’s low, man. That’s low. I expect better from you!

Other than that, you can rattle my cage any time!

First Name:

I actually go by my middle name, but my full name is Stephen Randy Holmes-Farley

Why You chose your screen name: I'll let you figure this one out.

Current Tank Specs: 120 gallon mixed tank, large blue gigantea carpet anemone with ocellaris clown trio is the highlight.

Area of strength in the hobby: chemistry and science in general

How long in the Hobby: 19 years, earlier with fresh; started with a tank planted with local water plants and lots of baby bullheads that I collected in a local stream in the early to mid 1970's.

Favorite hobby outside reefing: photography, reading science fiction (I even wrote a Sci Fi book, but haven't published it)

Anything else?: My wife and I started dating in 1977, married a few years later. Have two adopted daughters (14 and 17). Starting to go on college/conservatory visits with the older one, who is going to study classical saxophone. Currently have two beagles. Like to spend free time at our vacation home in Rockport, Massachusetts, across the street from the ocean. I'm a professional chemist and have worked in drug discovery for more than 20 years. I'm presently a consultant, with expertise in polymer therapeutics and biomaterials.

Finally, the face behind the words.
