I record audiobooks, both commercial (audible.com) and for LibriVox, which is a great group of volunteers who make audiobooks available for free to the public, check em out here: LibriVox
And if your curious about what I sound like, you can check out my contributions here: https://catalog.librivox.org/search...age=&date=&reader=Arnie&bc=&mc=&action=Search
Otherwise I vape and mess with my electronic gadgets. My brother says I am "a man of leisure", but I am not sure what that means.

Mathematics professor at a southern California university. Wish I would see more vapers and fewer smokers on campus. We seem to be few and far between.
As one of my friends calls me, a car ninja, red seal automotive technician with a GM store in B.C.
My educational background is in mathematics. Both my father and mother were mathematicians. My son is heading to college... with the intent on majoring in mathematics. I told him, "You were genetically doomed to take this path."
I got into my line of work as a tin knocker. I went from sheet metal, to Test and Balance, to Commissioning work.
Nothing wrong with that at all. I was asked when I was a fourth year apprentice if I wanted to switch to testing and balancing because of my ability to work with numbers. I had to tell them no. Although balancing is an important part of the job, it just seemed to boring to me to want to do everyday. I prefer knocking tin any day of the week.
I've been doing a lot of outside metal since December. It's kind of nice not running duct all the time.
"Tin Knocker"- I really haven't heard that from anybody but myself or DH since we left NY 20+ years ago, where the sheet metal guys called themselves tin knockers. For some reason in KY they seem to think it's derogatory or something. 
To me it's no different than calling electricians "Sparky".

No worse than what they called me when I was in TAB, which was "those damn TAB pukes". I wear my former title of "tin knocker" as a badge of honor.
All my children seem to have avoided it. I have a physicist son, a chef son and an daughter studying biology. No one to follow in my footsteps. Oh well.
Lawyer (I know - don't hold it against me). Have my own practice part time and work for a company as a title examiner. The best part is that I get to do all of it from home.
