~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Again, Thanks for taking the time to allow me to interview you.

When did you join the Team? Approximate date is ok if you don't know the specific date.
11/16/07

If there was something recent that you did that you wanted your fellow teammembers to know about, what would it be?
Well, I am doing this Interview before my trip, but we are leaving for Egypt on the 15th of Feb!

What is your EOC (extremeoverclockers) stats link?
EOC

You do not have to give specifics (address), but what State do you live in, and if you don't mind telling, what town? (town is not required, but if not a town, a general direction and distance from the nearest 'big town/city' would suffice)
I currently reside in Houston TX, but I grew up in Miami FL!

How did you initially hear about F@H?
Through online friends.

After starting, why do you continue to Fold?
I truly believe in the cause. I have family members on both sides who have had Cancer. Just recently we found out it is on my wife's side too. I fold for our loved ones and my daughter, that someday in her lifetime there is a cure.

What do you do for a living?
I am an entrepreneur.

What do you do for fun?
Spend time with my 5 month old baby daughter and my "big baby" wife. LOL.

Is there anything special you do in your spare time that you really enjoy?
Photography, mostly Architecture, but I like to do some Street Photography as well.

Time to spill your guts. What are the stats of your main folding rig? Why is it your fave? What all do you use the rig for?
My fave is my home rig, it is mainly a Photo-Editing Computer. It folds over the weekend. It was my first DIY computer, and I am most proud of it. But alas, I have since sold the WC kit...

Do you have a Borg-Farm? If so, how many computers, and what are they? (CPU, RAM)
I have 17 Quad rigs in total...2x QX6700s (one is in my Home Rig), 5x Q6600G0, 6x X3220, 4x Q6600B3, all with 1gb OCZ PC2-6400s. ALL are clocked at least to 3.0, 16 on Air and one with a CoolIT Freezone for quietness (Home Rig)

What are your future goals? What do you most want to accomplish with your life?
To leave a legacy that my kids can be proud of.

If there is something you want to tell the team, then spill your guts! What have I missed in my questions that could help the team learn more about you and who you are?
Lets try to get #1 in total PPD, more than MPC and [H] !!!!

I want to know what exactly you do for a living and then proceed to do the same thing in a different geographic region so I don't steal your business/lose a lot to you

Anyways, great to have you here Neato, you're quite an asset to the team!

Good stuff nitteo! I want to thank you and Pixie again for making the jump to Team 32. You two have certainly made an impact... I mean, who wouldn't want a pair of fun loving, genuine, down right excellent people to join their team?

I guess you two also get some extra credit seeing as the both of you combined just added 50k+ ppd to our team average... but who's counting?

I echo David_N... what exactly is this entrepreneur thing?

Sorry for the late response...

I own a Home Health Agency, we send Nurses (+other services) to take care of people at their home.

I was born into the Healthcare industry, my parents own/run the family business in Miami . Its a Healthcare Staffing Agency (we send Nurses to Hospitals and other Institutions.)

I am trying to get that side of the biz started here in Houston.

Thanks for the responses.

Glad to fold for T32.
