<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jdmKY, post: 5405292, member: 115308&quot;]This is a great thread! I’ve enjoyed learning more about the people whose posts I enjoy so much. I was a lurker for a couple of years before joining last October. </p><p><br /></p><p>A lifelong resident of Lexington, KY, I got a BSIM from Purdue (specializing in Finance) and then a JD from the University of Kentucky. After graduation I went into our family business - a beer wholesalership (yes, it was tons of fun!) After that, I practiced law, first as a solo practitioner, then in a mid-size firm. I’m now working for the Kentucky Bar Association - first as Director for CLE (4 years) and now as Executive Director (11 years).</p><p><br /></p><p>I have a wife of 24 years and we have 2 rescue dogs, but no children (that certainly helps to provide some disposable income). I’m a big Formula One fan and have been lucky to cross off #1 on my bucket list - Monaco, twice, the last time on a yacht in the Inner Harbor. I raced for several years, driving a Lola S2000. Great fun, but expensive! I’m also a huge Kentucky Wildcat fan.</p><p><br /></p><p>OK, let’s talk coins. I’ve always enjoyed reading about history and have had a strong collecting gene as well. My first Roman coin was purchased from a jewelry store in St Thomas when I was on my honeymoon (I still have the coin, not the wife). After several years I ran across the coin again and realized if it was as cheap as it was, that probably means there are a lot out there. So I started reading about ancients. When I learned about the EID MAR, I was blown away. I decided that the Imperatorial Period was what I wanted to focus on. Other than my first coin, all I own are Imperatorials. Over nearly 40 years of collecting, I’ve picked up 85. They give me tremendous satisfaction, I feel fortunate to be their caretaker for a fraction of their histories.</p><p><br /></p><p>I feel like I’ve been very fortunate during my 68 years - great wife (this time), satisfying career experiences, and, of course, the most interesting hobby in the world![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
