I am the owner (along with my wife) of a Dallas-based Search Engine Marketing firm. In that role I specialize in PPC, Web Analytics, and troubleshooting/problem solving for clients. On the hobby/personal front, I enjoy trailriding, wargaming (Warhammer), boardgames, reading, etc.
I am a tinkerer: I like to work at lots of different hobby tasks (though I often never quite get around to finishing them). Part of my attraction to the DMS is interacting with other smart people and learning about their interests. Learning how a task is done is interesting to me even if it is not a project/hobby I intend to take up.
