My name is AJ, and I live in Northeastern North Carolina on the Albemarle Sound. I'm 31 with a wife and 3 daughters, two cats, a dog, a ferret, a guinea pig and about 20 fish. Needless to say, I need all the money I can get! I'm a web designer by trade and I recently resigned from my job as a Correctional Officer due to the high stress and strain on my family that job entails as I was at a Close Custody Prison. I've been interested in getting involved in the Scrapping business seriously for awhile now as I have a buddy who makes his living scrapping cars and such, and I see tons of scrap just laying around the area that I live. About the only thing I've scrapped consistently is aluminum cans, and various appliances with my dad. I want to do more, learn more about the different types of metals, and do my part to recycle and make some money at the same time.

I'm not new to forums, and I'm going to pour over the wealth of knowledge that is here, but if I cannot find answers to my questions or do not understand what I do find, I will be sure to ask you veterans! I'm a quick learner, and listen to what others have to say/recommend with an open mind.

I look forward to learning a lot and becoming established in my area.

Welcome and there is lots to learn here. I too once work in a correctional facility and I know the stress. As for scrapping, it's a stress reliever and it brings peace of mind.

Welcome from a little down the road. Study the old threads it will put money in your pocket and put you years ahead. Best of luck, Mike.

Welcome from NH.
