Do you know anyone that could use a Business Developer/Sales Engineer for metal finishing related products or services in the SouthEast.

Sorry for the confusion of posting in a metals forum. I am doing a book on when professionals go diving to get away from it all and would love to hear stories from metal finishing professionals: Here is a better summary: Working on a Coffee Table Book: [b][u]“DIVING from the Corporate Ladder” [/u][/b] by Steve Anzelc. A photographic journey of memorable diving experiences from executives and professionals that leave the corporate sharks to dive among the real ones below. I am seeking incredible stories (not just sharks but anything underwater), memorable events, close calls, humor and other dive related stories and pictures for potential publication. Although I cannot compensate contributors, I will acknowledge contributions in the book as well as notify by mail when the book is published, if requested. Thanks….

You should talk to the owners of [url="http://www.usplating.com/"]American Plating Power[/url] Waasy and Peter in Ft. Myers. They are both avid divers and shared some great stories with us at Sur-Fin in Milwaukee this year. Good luck with the book!
