An Introduction of Myself
I wanted to start out by sending a big thank you to Blain Reinkensmeyer for asking me to take part in this blog. I have known Blain for about 8 months now and over that time I have developed a great respect for him. He is a wonderful teacher, and I am looking forward to working with him.
I am going to use this first post to tell you all about myself. I feel that this is important so that you will understand where I am coming from in future posts. As Blain mentioned, my name is Mark Zimmer. I am 20 years old, and was born and raised in Marne, Michigan, which is just west of Grand Rapids, Michigan. I am currently attending Baker College in Muskegon for a degree in Business administration. I am in my second year of studies there.
I have always felt that having to much to do is better than having not enough. So following this motto, I try to stay quite busy out of school as well. I spend the majority of my working time as a builder. I am an independent sub-contractor and mostly do work for about four main building companies. I also run a recycling company called Treecycle. Currently, we only deal with paper (which also includes magazines, cardboard, and phone books) but hope to expand our collection base in the future. I have also just recently started working on flipping a piece of property with a few other investors. This is the first of such deals for me, but am eagerly looking forward to learning. Currently, my main contribution to helping other people learn is working with the stock investing contest that Blain has talked about. I am the head of prize distribution, and also an assistant to Blain in other areas.
In my free time, I enjoy pretty much any activity that involves requires being outside. Some of my favorite activities are backpacking, bow hunting, ice/roller hockey, and tae kwon doe. I am also an avid reader, and enjoy spending time with family and friends.
What I am really hoping to bring to this blog is another view point on some of the issues discussed, as well as some lessons I have learned in my experience. I don't consider myself a worthy opponent to Blain when it comes to stock investing, but feel that I do have experience in areas that he lacks. Hopefully, we can together provide a little more rounded blog. In closing, I look forward to hearing any feedback from you, and hope you enjoy reading. As I usually like to close...
Good Luck With Everything!
