    I’m a banker in the old-fashioned sense. Small community bank that believes in the little guy. I’m no longer involved in lending (which I’m very thankful for) but rather run the IT department.

    Favorite brand is a little tough… I have 3 Oris watches, 2 Ball watches and 1 Omega. Notice I said 2 Ball watches! If forced to choose, the Ball brand would probably come out on top, even though the Omega was a grail for me.

    It occurs to me that both your question and the one asking about my profession may have been in jest given my signature, avatar and user name. Wow. I’m usually quicker on the up-take than that! Oh well...
