My background? Well right now I'm a graduate student at the University of New Hampshire working on the business program. I graduated from college in 2003 with a Bachelors degree in Computer Science, which is not worth the paper it's printed on in today's job market.
I was born and raised in the suburbs north of New York City, although I relocated to New Hampshire for both college and grad school. The rents live in NY and NH so I have two places to visit, mooch, and work on my car.
I have always been interested in anything technical; cars, tools, electronics, computers, etc. and I soak up any technical knowledge like a sponge. My brother has always been a gearhead so I guess some of it has rubbed off on me over the years. I live in a small apartment here at school but I still managed to fill up a closet with my collection of tools, even though I really have no place to work on my car here.
I like to share my knowledge of anything with anyone because knowledge is of no value unless you share it.
