Good idea Stever.

I've sold spas retail off and on since high school:  1983 ( went away to college, came back, went away to the military, came back....

Most recently: have been a sales manager for a 50,000 sq ft store in NW Indiana that sold Hot Spring, Artesian, Freeflow as well as above ground pools, pool tables etc...

Just accepted a position with LA Spas to be their territory rep for IN, MI, Ohio, & KY.  I start that Mar 28.

Married. 4 kids: 14 yr old boy, 10 yr old girl, & 4 yr old twins (boy/girl) so lots craziness around the house.   :)

Congrats salesdvl. :)

For the record...I think the craziness around your house has nothing to do with the kids! ;D

Well since other consumers have added to this ...


I've wanted a tub now for about 10 years - finally am able to afford one and will be getting an Artesian Grand Cayman.

I live in NJ.

I run a Biomedical Engineering Department for a 3rd party company at a local hospital. I've been in the medical repair business for 20 years.

I own an above ground pool (bought it at hottubber's store 4 years ago) so I'm familiar with water chemistry and since I was a "closet" hot tub (want to be)er - I've lurked around Doc's site for A LONG time trying to learn about tubs and recently here as well. And yes I've learned a lot!

I'm hoping that owning a tub will be as relaxing (I want it for stress relief and minor aches and pains) as people say and hoping it will be as easy (or easier) as owning the pool.

Hi, I've just joined--never participated in computer chat before.  I'm relatively new to computers (so I'm slow to catch on how to do this) and am seriously considering a hot tub.  SOOOOOO confusing! P.S. I have secrets to sell--I'm big sister to Hot Tub Woman (Hi Bill) ;)

Hi Lori,Thanks for the welcome.  I've gotten a kick out of the messages---funny people.  Yes, I'm sure NO ONE would be interested in Bill's secrets;but, just in case I'm considering Paypal (I'm new to ebay  as well-but learning that too fast)

Welcome KK! Enjoy your stay and we look forward to seeing more of you. (One more “K” and my welcome would have been much different!)  >:(

Lori - I'm 15 posts late but congrats on your 1000 post! You are a wonderful addition to WTB and I’m sure I speak for all when I say that you give this forum a real balance and (sappy moment) I think you’re a fantastic lady! I mean that and I generally don’t like people… ;D

I guess I better play along.

Consumer - Dynasty Excalibur owner for 2 years, picked to babysit you guys simply because of tendency to post too many messages. If I ever find a job I like again, that may get cut back.

Live in Columbus (The biggest one)

Married 24 years, one 21 year old daughter as those of you in the BS section know.

I guess I'm a reincarnated Canadian since I like Curling and Hockey.
