Business Networking

[bigjeepman]

I think we need a thread where we list what type of business we do so if there comes a time when one of us needs something not Jeep related we can go and see what everyone does and maybe use their services, skills, or knowledge to help each other out.

With that being said let me be the first one to start:

I am getting into the slip-form curb business with my uncle. He has been pouring slip-form curb in the Louisville, KY area for over 15 years now. Times are tough as we all already know, so we are trying to reach out and see if we can get some help from our out-of-town family members, friends, and people we know. All I am asking for is if you are driving around and see a construction project getting ready to start(or advertised in the paper) you just PM me. I will take it from there.

I am also still involved in the boat business. I have a lot of used Mercruiser parts, new Bolster captains chairs and many other accessories. If I don't have it I will find it! I sell on ebay everyweek under the "1boatpart" ebay store and ebay name.

I have also worked in the powersports industry for the last 7 years. I also used to race XC in Kentucky. I still have most of my connections to the dealers and distibutors so if I can help you that way please let me know.

With the economy being down I think a networking thread will be great. We can spread the wealth of knowledge that we have!

I am currently a maintenance Electrician for an aggregate producer, I work on asphalt plants, quarry equipment, offices, generators, bosses house, etc.
I love my job, do it and go home, no stress, "It will be broken until I/we fix it, not a moment sooner".

If you ever need any advice on something shoot me a PM.

[JS4309]

I'm a freelance sports photographer. I shoot mostly in Central Indiana but can be bribed to go about anywhere :) Been published in Brazil and England as well as nationwide for photos from the Indy 500 and Brickyard 400 so I must be doing something right. Published in a number of motorsports magazines and in GridIronDigest as well as on around 400 sports related websites. I shoot mostly for newspapers. I also shoot pre prom and prom photos as well..... no weddings though.... mother-in-laws are a PIA! lol I have pro grade cameras and lenses, and can do on site processing if needed as it's all digital.
The month of May is a bit busy so you need to schedule shoots about 2 months ahead of time. And when the Brickyard rolls around I am usually busy the whole weekend as I shoot all the races at ORielly Raceway Park including the Nationwide and Craftsman truck series.

When not shooting cameras I'm probably working on someone vehicle in my shop at home.

I always knew RevDan was out there...... lol. BTW Rev, I used to install satellite systems.

My primary business is now knowledge. You get stuck on a question, you can ask me. If I don't know offhand, chances are it's either in a notebook or I can figure out where to find it rather quickly.
