How's it going!

I wanted to post a short introduction before posting around more.  I'm a long time AoM reader with some time on his hands so I figured I'd join in on the discussion.  Some brief points about me:

-I'm a recent Marketing Graduate who reads extensively into research, consumer behavior, and the trends of current marketing.

-I grew up an obese teenager, I went up to 300 pounds in high school.  During my senior year I joined a gym, fell in love with physical culture, and never looked back.  5 years later, I'm 220lbs, my lowest was 195(yeah, I actually gained weight on purpose after losing 100+).  Exercise, eating, physical wellness and being in general are a great interest to me and I will happily help anyone that needs/wants it.  If you have any questions feel free to ask away.

-Video games, CCGs, and RPGs are all a love.  I've played video games extensively, card games(Magic, Warlord(the most), and a handful of others), and RPGs(D&D, Spyrcraft, etc).  I'm a nerd at heart and happy about it.

-Over the next year I am attempting to open a brewery in New Jersey with 3 of my friends.  We've been preparing for the last year and should have it up and running by November.

-Over the past year I began to "grow up" and change the way I look and conduct myself a bit.  I don't wear punk band t-shirts every day but I've still got the diy spirit.  

I hope I can contribute to the community, provide any help people need when it comes to exercise, health, or marketing.  I won't help if it's out of my realm of knowledge, but those 3 subjects are a safe bet.  

Cheers

Humphreys Peak is the highest natural point in Arizona, with an elevation of 12,637 feet (3,852 m).

The total climb will take 7 hours. The summit should have a little snow on it, and will be windy.…See More

Chuck Knight commented on Leif Gunnar Selberg's blog post should I help younger brother become smoker?
"He obviously equates smoking with maturity, and sees tobacco as his rite-of-passage.  And he's emulating his male role models.   As an addict, you personally know the pleasures AND the pitfalls of smoking.  If he is choosing to…"

"Getting to know your classmates is a great idea, and so is finding a professor with a research project. I never thought of that second one! I appreciate the advice and examples. You've been really helpful!"

"Thanks for the post and the examples, Nick. You were right in pointing out that it's no use comparing one's self to others. And I like your father's saying. "
