I am my parents personal grunt at pets playhouse. I enjoy xbox 360. hunting and fishing.

I'm a student at UNI(Biz. Management) and work at Hy-Vee. I love reef keeping and anything to do with animals in general. I hunt pheasant and deer(going this weekend actually). I like tinkering with electronics and figuring out how they work. I love building my own things if I can(lots of DIY projects). I really really want to go scuba diving, but have never had the chance to get very far away from Iowa, but I'm planning a trip to Florida this spring break though! I love football, I'm a Hawkeyes and Niners fan, and I watch playoff basketball if my Magic are still in, no baseball(unless the Mariners start doing good).

I grew up in Nebraska so it was nice to see Nebraska beat Oklahoma for a change sorry JB.

Heh, you can thank this year's inept Sooner offense for that.   Hopefully Suh will dominate Colt this weekend, but I'm not sure Nebraska's offense is any better than OU's this year...

I am a metrics reporting specialist(database analyst) at Wells Fargo. I just graduated from Grand View with a degree in applied mathematics and computer science about a year ago. I am working on getting a masters degree in applied mathematics. In my free time I like to fly airplanes as I am a member of the Des Moines flying club. I take physics classes at drake in my free time for fun. I also like to ride my motorcycle.

I work at Pella Corporation making windows. In my spare time i mainly just watch TV any more. used to hunt and fish alot but have lost time and interest. recently been focusing time on new house and wife and recently learned we are adding to our family in July so 3 big life changing events 4 months.....not much time for hobbies :)

Wow! Congratulations Daddy Chris! Congratulations to Mommy as well.

I know this is kind of dreaming, but an organized GIRS dive trip would be awesome!

I agree Craig...this has been a great thread.  I've really enjoyed reading about the diversity of talents/hobbies/careers we have in our group

I hope to go in january, anyone want to come along?

I am a K-5th grade reading teacher here in Cedar Rapids. My other hobbies would be camping, boating, biking, listening to music, reading (imagine that a reading teacher who likes to read) used to be murder and suspense, lately I've been reading some lighter stuff:-) Been scuba diving a couple of times myself:-)

I work on an assembly line at John Deere. I found that I don't want to switch to salary even though I have a BA in Business Administration from UNI.
I got my first real road bike this year, and will probably do one or two days of RAGBRAI next year. I play tennis, preferably doubles. My wife and I enjoy older homes with character. We own a home that was built in the 20's with a lot of unique art deco tiles. It was once a stop on a tour of historic homes in Waterloo. We travel a lot and I usually want to see the old mansions and (of course) public aquariums in the larger cities. My wife is a master gardener so we compromise by also seeing the botanical gardens. I did some snorkeling while in Belize and would like to get scuba certified.
We adopted a retired greyhound racer a few years ago, which turned out to be a wonderful experience. They make great pets, especially if you like a dog that rarely barks and mostly just lays around all day. They are very obedient, train quickly, and are full of character. We've convinced others to adopt. Once a week local greyhounds owners meet in a large oval fenced in area to let the hounds run together as they did at the track.
Some of my other interests include classic metal (the music genre) including live shows, billiards, specialty beers, and trying to find good wine and save it (not much luck saving it yet).

Security Specialist for embeded hardware and software systems at Rockwell Collins Government Systems.

I MAKE BEER!

I work in Business Insights (marketing) at Pella Corporation. I am also a part-time firefighter for the city of Altoona. Other hobbies include woodworking and Hawkeye sports.

I am a single and full time father of two kids. I also work part-time as a student nurse tech for a hospital and attend college full-time for nursing. I have BA in biology with a chemistry minor and will have a BSN in Dec. of 2010. I also have an AA degree in aviation maintanence and used to work for Northwest Airlines out of the Twin Cities as an aircraft tech. I also own a small business where I sell used dental equipment online.

My hobbies include flood repairs on my house, doing homework, cleaning, household chores, and helping family/friends on their home or car repairs. I had a few free minutes that I was wasting on sleep, so I decided to start an aquarium up...this one is for me!

i sell drugs
