Business Systems Analyst at a large autoparts reseller. I mostly make sure our pricing IS group has things to do :).

Also a big aviation enthusiast who has hundreds of hours...in simulators...sadly. Working on getting my license pretty soon here though!

For anyone who wants to contact me to complain/make polite suggestions, jaycarr (at) gmail is the place to send your hate mail.
