Where is everybody from?

To be short and sweet . I am from North Dakota

I bet all you guys from Canada are jealous of us cause we has much warmer winters.

Take this job and shove it

Allen ain't working here no more

His daddy done came and gave him something

He should be working toward

And if he finds out their's glory

Well according to Allen that s another story????

Well,

I've posted a brief history earlier, but here it is again:

Native of Fresno, CA... lived in LA & San Diego a bit too.  Came to South Australia in '91 to visit some relatives.  Turned a 1 month visit to a 3 month... to a 6 month... then got married the day before I was supposed to leave the country. 

I think it was the beer.

Spent most of my time  in sales/marketing/business development/corporate ass kissing. Took 6 weeks off in Dec & Jan just past, 'cause my folks were visiting from the US for the first time since I got married (the Mrs. & I have been 'back' a couple of times).  Halfway through, I looked at my wife and told her that I wasn't going back to work.  For ANYONE.  EVER.

Dad suggested becoming a CC'er like him.  Thought about it.  It made sense.  I had been helping my old man for years. So we did it.  Aimed squarely at the top end of the market, like good 'ol dad.  It suits.

and THAT'S the REST of the story..

I have often wondered where the different posters that come here are posting from and a bit about there background. In an effort to know each other better, I will lead off. If you do not feel comfortable telling info here, don't.Just say as much as you feel comfortable with. I thought it would be nice to take off my technical hat for a night.

 

I was born in Oshawa, Ontario, and spent the first 23 years of my life there. I was going to be a chemical engineer before being side tracked to the restuarant industry, GM, and different sales jobs. I lived breifly in London, Ontario before moving to Toronto in 1977. I stayed there for two years before moving to Calgary in 1979, where I have mostly been ever since. I have had carpet cleaning companies operating here ever since. On my doctors recommendation, I got out of cleaning carpet cleaning fulltime back in 1999 for health reasons and decided to build what this industry needs to make life easier and more profitable for cleaners. I'm still doing that today.

 

Your turn......................
