I’ve built telecom infrastructure for… 6-8 years? I’m the guy who figures out where the fiber optic cables go, where the communications towers are, and how we talk and send data across them. I have some experience with historical and environmental reviews and zoning for this type of work as well. Pretty experienced project manager and government procurement experience as well.

When I’m not working, I’m a pretty knowledgable cook, decent general historian (interest in weapons technology & military history), trained (former) demo guy, and frisbee golf enthusiast.

That is only fair, the type I specialize in is a 275 year old design.

Professionally I’m an Electrician.

The other stuff I goof around in is refinishing furniture, wine making, auto/home repair, drinking whiskey, and general sports nuttery.

Basic Christian theology (the stuff held in common by the RCC, the EOC, and Protties),

Oh, add this in for me too. I have a better than average knowledge of American Animation. I worked for an animation art gallery for 10+ years (who’s eBay store I ran, see my previous post) so I know tons of obscure stuff as well as a good number of animators.

If you need help with putting together a college English syllabus, assessing writing, grading, editing, or proofreading, consult me.

Medicare product management for the aged and disabled. If you have a question about Medicare Parts A, B, C, D or Medigap, I’m your girl.

I also have a masters in linguistics and worked as a professional archaeologist, so I can answer most questions about the development of languages in the Middle East, South America and archaeological questions on South America and North America, with a focus on pre-Incan mummies and lithics and midwestern mound cultures and southwestern Pueblo people.

Almost forgot - I also still freelance sometimes, so I can answer certain questions on local and national writer’s markets.

  1. Media and message control
  2. Politics, campaigns and elections
  3. Squished pennies (no foolin’)
  4. The Band Queen
  5. Decolonial development in Latin America and Africa
  6. Business development and plan writing and analysis
  7. All aspects of publishing

My job is in pensions, but I’m likely to only be useful for UK-based queries on that. Also, croquet - not my job, my main hobby.

It’s death and dismemberment. It can’t be that bad.

Sociology. Subfields include: family sociology, gender/feminist theory, social theory, sociological methods, sociology of consumption.

I can tell you almost anything you want to know about art supplies. It’s rare that questions come up around here, but that’s where I’m tops.

My formal training and hobby is animation, particularly 3D in Maya. I also sing, design, paint, write, fence, make movies, take photos, and a variety of related artistic things.

I also secretly wonder if I have a long-lost twin living near Detroit.
