Anyone else from the Chicago area?

Hello DP members, I am from the northern Chicago burbs. Just wondering who else may be from the area. My skills include:


finding quality domains, domain acquisition, selling domains
web hosting, vps, ftp, ssh
joomla, wordpress, gallery 2
logos, template changes
seo, sem, link building, ppc
mysql, php
hardware and os troubleshooting, custom pc builds


I'm looking for others from the area to possibly team up on projects since it is difficult to stay motivated when working on speculation projects alone. I am also open to helping local people out with projects for free if i think your site is cool, or if you need a lot of work done for money. You can also send a message to see if we can benefit from working with each other if you have something in mind that you need done. I haven't started a web design business because I'm looking to create the next big thing, but am not opposed to side work if it comes along.

So send me a message about yourself or a link to your website or profile. Please do not post a reply if your not from Chicago as it is easy to get a infraction for replying to postings in the introduction forum. Many of you probably know that from experience, or if you don't read the sticky at the top of the forum. I'll assume anyone reading this welcomes me to DP and etc.. so no reason to post unless your from Chicago or have a few sentences that will contribute to the post. Thanks.
