Let's see... I'm 37, have been married for 11 years and have a six year old daughter (who's going on 16) and two Golden Retrievers - the first kids. I work in IT security and do a little IT system administration work from time to time on the side. Just getting back into cigars and loving it. Other than that I like to do about anything outdoors, mountain biking, grilling on the Weber, college football (Go Irish!). Also a newbie woodworker and am a huge craft beer nut -the more hops the better!

Almost 36, married almost 10 years, and have two young daughters aged 4 and 8. I'm a software architect which is secret code for a guy who types all day but doesn't really get anything productive done. I've been developing software for 13 years, but haven't really built anything cool. It pays the bills. I hit the gym 5-ish days a week, play hockey in the winter, boating and wakeboarding in the summer, read stuff by Stephen King, Wheel of Time, and Game of Thrones. I constantly tweak my basement theater with it's HD projection onto a 118" screen and all the pieces that go with it. I'm also an amateur photographer taking classes to perfect the "art" which is hard for my logical, analytical brain.
Lets see... I am 26, will be 27 on april 23rd... I have been married to my beautiful wife for 5 years this april. I have one daughter who just turned 3 at the end of march. I currently do fiber optic customer support for verizon fios. I have been there over a year now. I have a dream of getting out of debt and owning my own business.
Some of my hobbies include spending time with my family, cooking (nothing like chef), i also like to play paintball and have recently started working out 3 days a week. I have been looking for a hobby as i feel i am missing somethig to call my own.
I used to write poetry and have been published numerous times, but seem to be able to only write when i am depressed. Lately i have been quite happy thus no poetry

I guess I'll go next!
I'm 29 will be 30 on Jan 4th. I live with my fiance Ashley and our 6 month old son Michael, he's the little guy hanging out in my avatar!
As far as work, I work for a small wholesale logistics company. I am dispatch supervisor and do some IT work for them as well. College was never really my thing and now I'm kinda kicking my own ass for not going, but hey it's never too late!
My hobbies are cigars, fishing, hunting, and hanging out with my family. I love to cook and I'm always experimenting with different recipes from different cultures.
I'm a movie junkie! I love anything new, old, indie it doesn't matter.

I am 28 (29 in July) married with a 2 1/2 yo boy and and 8 month old girl. By day I am a Pharmacy Manager for CVS, but by night I love to cook and perfect recipes for my restaurant I want to open, drink beer and bourbon, spray golf balls all over the course and push my kids on our swings. Now who's next...
Turn 40 2morrow. :grinFU:
I work as an application engineer for Siemens PLM Software. I'm not a coder, but am a consultant between our Major Accounts and our development, therefore I travel a ton. Outside of that I am a photographer with my own small business that focuses on young kids, seniors, a couple special groups and glamour/boudoir photography. Some of it is for pay and the other is for fun (boudoir).
I have a naked sportsbike (see I like naked things) that I have finished customizing and ride it whenever I can.
Been married for 15 years, have two boys that are 12 and soon 14.

Just turned 34 this morning. I'm married with a son that's almost 2. I'm an IT Engineer which means I try to do as little as possible. When I'm not playing Army or smoking, I also enjoy motorcycle riding and playing hockey.
Happy birthday, Brother! :bdaycake:
I'm 32, I am an outside sales rep for a machine tools manufacturer and I have a little part time gig at a cigar shop. In my off time I will do a BBQ any chance I get and will do some table top gaming with friends.
Damn what a coincidence, I turned 30 this year on Jan 4!
After 5 years I finally called it quits at the country club. Picked up my last check today. Was the most fun I ever had working, but the new management changes just made my job too miserable to stay. Working 50 hours a week at a Red Robin a mile from my house until I go back to school in 7 weeks.
Im 31 I think...
I do IT Consulting, focused on Information Security. Theres no easy way to say this... but..... Im a Professional Penetration Tester. (White hat hacker to everyone else) People pay me money to find their vulnerabilities before the bad guys do.
When im not doing that, then I am at home studying and training on the latest nonsense security vulnerabilities. I also spend a lot of time buying a lot of really expensive computer networking gear so I can stay on top of darker side of my White Hat skills. Then spend time reselling it back online.
Oh and Mow the lawn. Takes a full 2 days....
Wife, 1 Son (17 months old), 3 cats, 2 dogs, and in-laws.
Long story short, Im uber geek, and an incredibly proud husband and father.

By day I am now a full time student (with BAH from the military monthly thanks to the GI Bill). I was working as a used car mechanic for about a year, but decided I wanted to get back into computer systems and am currently studying Computer Networking.
Other than that I mainly just ride my m'cycle around and play way too many video games.

I'll update mine as well...but not much has changed. I was a Plant Manager for Weyerhaeuser until 1996 and then retired after a 25 year career. Staying with one company certainly has its advantages and retirement was always something I dreamt about as I hated my job with all of the stressors that went with it but it did afford me to retire at 43. 15 years later I am fortunate enough to travel and see the world...cruise on my motorcycle and sleep til noon when I want to. Cigars have always been a part of my life as I was introduced to them at an early age from a man who was a friend of the family...Cuban, wouldn't you know it. He was always smoking those big fat cuban cigars and I always wanted to smoke one from that point on...at 12 years old I took the plunge and never looked back...almost 50 years of cigar bliss.
I'm a lawyer in a rural West Tennessee. My law partner is my wife which means that what is good for the office is good for the family. We don't have an children, yet but we take in stray dogs and cats. We live on a cattle farm and raise registered black Brangus. We have a small herd now but I really enjoy working with the animals and watching them graze.
Cigars are my way to unwind after a long day at the office. My wife actually started me in the hobby buying me some sticks for Christmas a few years ago. I'm fortunate to have her support. She even burns with me on the weekends when the weather is nice.
