Just who is MiterMaster?

[MiterMaster]

Hi, I'm MiterMaster, real name Mike McDermott. For several years I have run my own trim carpentry company. My main focus was on interior trim, baseboard, casing, crown, basically any type of trim work found on the inside of your home, I covered it.

However, for the past year, I've been phasing out of the business as I had an incredible opportunity to become a full-time, stay-at-home parent, raising my 2 kids. This is a huge change in responsibility, but I'm really enjoying now being able to be a full-time, hands on parent.

I've been married for 10 years and have 2 wonderful kids and a yellow lab. I enjoy outdoor activities such as camping, hiking, kayaking and such, but my real passion is wood-working.

Since my main focus was only on trim, I look forward to learning new things and ideas from other, more diverse members. I'm also a member of the TalkFestool community, as well as the JLC forum, all with the same "MiterMaster" user id.

;D  ;D  ;D  ;D  ;D

Ditto on the welcome. It is nice to see the person behind the screen name. One sugestion tho, you say: "...I've been married for 10 years and have 2 wonderful kids and a yellow lab..." you might want to include wife also. I know that was unstated but very useful when you want more green for green.

Welcome Mike, Great looking family. I would love to be able to stay home and raise my four kids. I watch my 3 y.o. during the day, and work all night, so I feel limited on the activities I can do with her, and the rest of the family too.
