I was the operations manager for a Dental Technology Firm :) Was there for nearly 3 years before PS just got too big and busy. I quit there Jan of 2009. We moved to TN from Los Angeles in March of 2009. :)

And the question no one will ask...........

Has this been a beneficial move for you and your family?

And are you happy you made the transition from having a boss to being the boss (of course I understand the wife is truly the boss)?

Just asking

Good Question DW (still can't say your s/n ... haha)

Beneficial Move = IMO, Yes ... I love it here. I think some of the nicest people are down here in the south. Cost of living has drastically decreased, therefore allowing us to invest more in to PS. I will say, when we first got here (about March 20th) -- less than 10 days later, we got both notices that our 2 largest shipments from China ever (close to $70k total) were being held at customs. We didn't entirely know what to do .... Luckily, before we moved, we had already started the move to American made PV's. We simply just put that idea in to overdrive.

Do I miss Los Angeles? Not really ... I do miss the food, and the nearby ski resorts, otherwise, I'm perfectly content :) Don't think we will ever move again!

I think you'll do fine, thanks for answering that question.

You can still ski ............nothing like out west but it is what it is.

so you started PS before you left your job and LA? i was just trying to figure out how you came from your full time day job to making and selling a mass produced mod. It's a simple concept and you're a true entrepreneur. taking a new concept, making it better, and marketing off of it. i just wish i had the resources or the balls to take such a big leap as you.
if you hit the big leagues because of this, i'm attending your motivational classes.

oh, and just got the BE112's. work nicely. waiting to see how long they last. I seem to get two weeks out of the DSE 801's. and it seems the BE112 gives a different burnt taste than the 801 when it's drying out.

$70K is a lot to take up the pipe. Did you ever get that resolved? Refunded?
