Seriously, I wish I had the fortitude, the initiative and the knowledge of business that all you business owners possess. Takes guts and I have a lot of admiration for you all.

Hey Snakecharmer I'm self employed and have been selling Hot Tubs, Fireplaces, Pool Tables, and Sunrooms both retail and wholesale for about 20 years. I'm very close to manufacturing my own hot tubs and really want to call them Viper Spas but realize there are a bunch of other names more suitable. Even with that in mind I still love the name Viper Spas. Hope you and yours have some super holidays

Hi, I own a business that manufactures and sells emergency warning signals - strobe lights and sirens. Maybe some of you have seen our products in your rear view mirror.... We make products for Police, Fire, Ambulance, Aircraft and have some fun lighting up the Winston Cup pace cars every year. In fact if any of you visit CAAP, ask them to turn on the strobes on the Viper Indy pace car - we made those too.

Hope everyone has a great holiday!

[Rich Detert]

I work for Daimler Chrysler at the St.Louis North Ram Truck Assembly Plant. For the last 4 years I been working in the the engine building bolting on external parts to the engines. For the last 6 months I've been putting on the coil and belt tensioner.
Not a very exciting job, but it pays decent. If I thought about my job while I was doing it I'd probably go crazy (I'm usually thinking about Viper/car stuff).

We're supposed to start building pilot vehicles for the next generation Ram Trucks (DR model) in Feb. and we'll start production of them in mid July.

I have a commercial Real Estate company. We locate sights for strip centers and grocery stores. I also own two car lots and finance people with zero credit! Rental property is my passive income. I also day trade which costs me money so its kind of an anti-job.

[Tom Friend]

Systems Programmer. (I write operating systems & device drivers) My current title is "Software Development Engineer". As most of us know, titles come cheap... It means I'm a geek like many others in the VCA. I began my life as an aspiring musician who designed his own amps because it was cheaper. Then I found it made a rather good day job. Designed mixed signal & digital ASICs, RF, high voltage & other black arts. I got into programming when it was considered a black art.

Did the Silly-Con Valley startup routine, then had my own software company for ~12 years before I joined the "dark side". Now I work for Microsoft and I'm having loads of fun at it, in spite of Janet Reno.

I've been involved in the development of: Windows 95, NT4 & 5, several versions of IE, and now Whistler. This job didn't buy my house, but it did allow me a few of my latest toys including my GTS, and a large offshore sailboat.

There are a few other Vipers here at Microsoft, and most of us got together for lunch one day last fall:
