It makes me smile to see that this is such a surprisingly diverse group, bringing hosts of different experiences to the table . . .

I work full-time in a small print shop, where I _am_ the prepress department. On weekends, including a lot of Friday nights, I work at the local public aquarium (The Maritime Aquarium at Norwalk), where I'm mostly involved in what I refer to as "education lite"; generally tours for scout overnight programs, childrens' birthday parties (with the odd adult birthday party tossed in!) and interacting with the visiting public. It's far more physically demanding and pays less than my 9-5 ... but it's _so_ much more meaningful!

Working on raising our first investment round. Gonna try my hand at business on my own, enough of this making money for other people stuff :)

I would've thought that wealth management and owning a reef tank were mutually exclusive endeavours... ;)
