Please, allow me to introduce myself...

Hello. My name is Jeremy and I live in Hamilton, OH, about 20-30 minutes north of Cincinnati. As my full-time gig, I manage a floor covering business, which I have done for the past 10 years or so. I'm married and have 4 awesome children. My wife is a 911/police dispatcher.

For, as long back as I can remember, I have enjoyed taking things apart just to see what's inside. The only thing that's changed; the size and quantity of what I'm taking apart, and what I'm going to do with what I find "inside".



What draws me to this "hobby" is the unmeasurable amount of opportunity available to those of us willing to make an effort and apply ourselves! Historically, the greatest opportunities to create financial independence and monetary wealth have been created by, and are a by-product from, circumstances where we find ourselves (society) facing a problem. E-scrap is the "problem" and we are the solution!! I plan to steadily climb this ladder until I'm at the top of the food chain. My vision, which has led me to establish this goal, is to become a major player in this game. I will work smart, work hard, utilize my available resources, and surround myself with like-minded individuals.

I am very thankful for this community forum and have learned a tremendous amount from its contents, and all of you. I look forward to participating in this active community, and being of service to its members. Thank you for the opportunity!

Welcome to the forum from Nashville.

Hi Jeremy, awesome kids and your assumably awesome wife
Welcome from Nebraska and I'm proud to be a blue collar semi retired farmer who despises waste and marvels at what others waste.
Let us hear your stories and see your pictures.

Rich, but not wealthy, yet. My taste? Well.... thats to be determined isn't it.

Thanks for your hospitality!

Thank you kindly, sir! It sounds to me like you and I are one in the same. We just wear different color shirts, that's all! lol

I look forward to sharing on this forum.

Nice introduction! Welcome from Big Sky, Montana.

Jacvip- You'll find a bunch of folks who have other non-scrap jobs and do this for a variety of reasons from the thrill of the hunt to seeing what's inside something. But a couple of things probably united us all, more coin at the end of the day and probably for most the satisfaction of something going to be re-made or re-used into something else.

Long story short for my weekday job, I'm tasked to understand land use and its change across the U.S. We regonalize the country using a criteria and then look at randomly selected areas across time using overhead imagery. We often take field trips to our study areas and get ground photos of the land use. I have some nice pixs from Hamilton County including one of lots of new suburbanization that hopefully will be in a publication sometime this year. If gets to press, I'll have to see if you recognize the place

Welcome. Nice intro. And enjoyed all the responses from my fellow members and Stones fans. Gotta love the stones!
Well your at the place if want to succeed in the recycling biz! Read as many old threads as you can .
Whenever you have a question search the archives. You'll end up learning more than by just posting a question.
Lots of different people here from all walks of life, but we have a few things in common with each other. We're hunters and gatherers, care about the environment. And we enjoy this work. Of coarse we like the extra $$$$.
Good luck!
