Howdy all, I have been registered for a while now but discovered I never posted an intro So here we go... My name is Shawn Gossman and I run about 50 websites which 30 of them are message forums. I am also the webmaster for the city I live in. I have been making websites and messing with forums for about 15 years now and really like doing it. It calms me down when I am under the stresses of adulthood I run the largest Illinois Skywarn community online and also am CEO of the largest storm chasing social network online. I run the largest admin forum powered by SMF software as well I am 27 years of age, a male and I live in a rural part of southern Illinois. I am a full time manager of a security guard team at a big time cable manufacturing plant. I am also a full time college student getting a Doctorate of Management in Emergency Management and Homeland Security. Once I obtain my PhD in a few years, I plan to have 3 options... become a director of emergency management in a big city somewhere in the south, get into the executive levels of the private sector dealing with risk management and emergency response or to become a college professor in association with my degree. I may attempt to become a police officer here soon though as it pays a bit better than being a security manager I am also a certified SKYWARN Storm Spotter (10 years) and I have some Emergency Management experience. I am also a storm chaser (12+ years) and have chased tornadoes and severe weather all over the United States. I mainly do it to attempt to warn others, get some cool footage and yes like any other chaser, I do it for the thrill... Just last night I chase the storms in eastern Arkansas I am a member of the National Rifle Association and a HUGE gun nut. I am also a member of the Masonic Lodge. I hope to contribute to this forum and thanks for having me
