[djmcconnell]

I do interactive strategy in a marketing agency by day.

At night, I hang out with my wife (and college-aged kids when I can). I seem to find some time to practice guitar most nights, too.

On Sundays, I sing and play in the church worship band.

Life is good!

Quality assurance manager for a manufacturer of large industrial air and gas compressor equipment. When I first graduated from college with a degree in chemistry, I was an organic and polymer chemist at a major research facility. Much has transpired in between. What a long, strange trip it's been....

P.S. Unlike that guy on "Breaking Bad", I've never run my own meth lab, so don't even ask.

But you could if you wanted to, right? Just sayin...

Well, let's see. Alot of ground to cover...

Working musician from 1964 - 1971.
During that time, I also did part-time as an apprentice electrician.

1972 - got my electrician's journeyman's card. Worked full-time as journeyman electrician - residential, commercial and industrial.

1975 - got my State of Florida Master Electrician Certification, and ran a business for abt 3 years.

1977 - opened and owned and operated my record store thru 1980. (Be careful what you wish for! My love of music really waned during this time, as I was in the store from 10 AM til 9 PM six days a week, w music playing constantly. The LAST thing I wanted to do was listen to music at home or in the car! My enjoyment of my first love - music - had run out! Also, every beautiful album cover and its contents became just a catalog #, as ordering and shipping from major labels was handled this way. Got to where I couldn't handle it anymore and sold the store!)

1980 - started my own electrical contracting business thru 1991.

!981 - 1983 - got a three-piece acoustic group together (miced thru our PA) and became house band at local legendary cut'n'shoot bar. Finally got playing live out of my system. Had been bugging me for years. So glad I finally did that! Weekends only while running my contracting business.

1992 - returned to college (I had done abt a year and a half back in the late 60s - and all those credits transferred!). Graduated Summa Cum Laude w a B. A. Degree in counseling psychology in 1995.

Took a break, then went back for my Master's Degree in 1998 - my world then proceeded to fall apart: had a nervous breakdown in 1999-2000 and was a vegetable for abt a year and a half. Never quite fully recovered and haven't worked since, although I keep my Electrical Contractor's License active (that damn thing was just SO hard to get, I'll never let go of it).

Luckily, my three children (by three different wives) were grown by then, and are all doing very well!

2005 - decided to get serious abt playing guitar again, and have spent many thousands of dollars acquiring most of the gear you see in my signature since then.

Welp, that's the bulk of my story and I'm stickin' to it! I guess the short answer would be Master Electrician!

I'm a Program Assistant at a large nonprofit science advisory institution you've probably heard of, my little branch of which focuses on atmospheric sciences and climate change. I handle meeting and travel logistics, maintain websites, put out newsletters, edit reports, and suchlike. About a third of my income comes from gigging and teaching, though.

[Suhnton]

English teacher in Japan. Mostly to kids (from 2 years old to Junior High).
Which means I get to sing a ton of kids' songs and do weird dance actions and stuff. High tolerance to self-embarrassment required, but it's kind of fun.
