    just wanted to introduce myself
    see so much positive stuff here already and i want to start with that same positive energy
    just a good ol country boy at heart grew up around trucks can remember when i was like 10 with my dad and uncles sitting on the porch and them telling me to go move the truck and laughing at me grinding gears figuring it out, them was the good ol days .
    took a different route in life and was a tattoo artist for over 20 years until sitting down with my wife/kids discussing a career swap as its always been something i wanted to do with their blessings i made the leap.
    here i am looking to get my foot in the door somewhere and meet others throughout the industry for advice and friendship.

    Yeah? What part of Mississippi? I live in Memphis now. Omaha is pretty cool. That means it'll be easy for you to get some work once you get your license. @Chinatown has some good suggestions for companies near the Omaha area.
