I just wanted to take a moment to thank Mary for inviting me to this
forum. I work in the Chicago area in the automotive industry (as well
as globally); surprisingly the majority of my contacts are not in the
Chicago area. This forum will present the opportunity to meet more
individuals in the area, whether they are automotive or other arenas.

Though I am new to the area, I have traveled and worked in the area,
IA, WI, and surrounding states for close to 13 years at various
employers and with both suppliers and customers in commercial,
automotive and medical devices.

I look forward to getting to know everyone and if I can be of
assistance to anyone, please contact me.
