Greetings ATSers

Hello all in the ATS Universe!

New member here, thought I would introduce myself. I was just visiting my parents over the holidays, and my Dad turned me on to this site. Needless to say, I was instantly very excited about the concepts presented here, and all of the different perspectives flowing on this board.

A bit about myself... I am male, 28 and a transplant from the west coast that has been living in Philly for just about two years now.

I am a sales manager for a healthcare publishing firm. Unmarried, but happily committed, and have no children.

I am a huge supporter of the arts, and one of my driving forces is long form improvisation. I have been doing it for over a decade now, have recently developed a national festival and run an online resource for improv in my region. It is a large part of what fuels who I am.

One of the reasons I enjoy it is it allows me the opportunity to be someone else, with different ideals, background, motivations, etc. This is of big interest to me, because I think you will all quickly see that I strive to look at things from as many perspectives as possible.

I love heated debates, and to play the devil's advocate. At the same time, I try to be respectful of all opinions and input, even if I would spend the rest of my life opposing those same opinions.

I am already excited about all the great things on this board, and hope that I can contribute in my own way.

So hello to all, and cheers!
