Let me introduce myself!

shawn_madison 04-20-2007, 10:38 AM

Hello fellow WW members,
I used to post on this site a few years ago and I have known Dave Williams for a few years. I was Turk Kildare back in the day. I posted the first X-80 pics, etc. Anyway, I have spent the last 5 years adding contribution to another wakeboarding site and giving RARE industry views. So, now I will be moderating WW some and adding industry tips and insight where I can. I am extremely well connected in the boating industry and I have personal connections all over the United States in the industry. I currently work for the largest boat company in the world in design. Also, I live in East Tennessee, which is pretty much the hub of the sport boating industry and its suppliers. Please feel free to contact me in regards to questions or if you need assistance with an issue you think I can help. I will do my best to assist you or to point you in the right direction.

I am not trying to gloat, I just wanted to take the time to introduce myself. Some of you know me and some of you don't.

I look forward to contributing to the site.

Regards,
SM

Right on, welcome back. I saw the wb.com post/thread the other day, it was getting a bit messy as things usually do over there. Anyway, good luck and welcome back.

welocme back! Sounds like you are taking the right approach, not trying to fool anybody is nice to hear from somebody in the industry.

Hey, looking forward to reading some posts and i'd always take some constructive criticism on the site from an industry insider.

mnwakerider Thanks! I get in trouble sometimes releasing things too early....

However, I just want to share the information and help fellow boaters.

All, thanks for the welcome!

I will be out on Norris tomorrow if anyone wants to get together.

Regards!
