Where are you from, what do you do?

[rwhite692]

My name is Rob, I work for a semiconductor manufacturer in Milpitas CA (Silicon Valley), as the Customer Quality Manager for Optics, Interface, and Power Management Integrated Circuit product lines.

(ie, getting yelled at by irate customers in many languages) .

I live with my wonderful wife Michelle (Who understands and supports my car obsessions/sickness), over the hill in the Central Valley, in Tracy. I grew up in, and moved here from, Mattituck NY (Eastern end of Long Island) in 1997.

My job actually is a pretty entertaining gig. I have been around cars and boats my whole life, my Dad is a marine mechanic of some 60+ years experience and is still going strong, he's my biggest inspiration and resource with regard to all things mechanical.
