Technically, I'm the Marketing Director for a large community bank. But I'm involved in so many areas, I think I spend less time on marketing than anything else (thank heaven for my wonderful staff!).

Default I went with "other" but I could have said "full time"...

I am a surgeon by training, a photographer by choice.

Got my first manual SLR when I was 8 years old, have been using one ever since.
