I thought I would post an introduction since I am probably going to become much more of a TFP user. I was a lurker for a while, found this site and used the concepts here to clear an algae bloom a few summers ago. I finally joined last summer when I was battling some bad sand quality after I had modified our seasonal pool to use an Intex sand filter.

I've spent the past 6 months working with several different builders and we are now just a few weeks from starting construction on our first in-ground pool! I started a build thread a few days ago and I will keep it updated as we work through the process. I also decided a few days ago that it is time to become a TFP supporter. I started small and became a Bronze supporter, but I know it won't be long before I take steps up that ladder.

About me, I am a father of three. Two boys and one girl. Been married for 21 years, we got married young. Our kids are currently ages 19,16 and 12. It's been a great life! I am a software developer/database administrator, but I majored in psychology. Life has a sense of humor, I guess. I manage a team of researchers and develop automation tools for information gathering. Being a geek is fun.

Anyways, I look forward to interacting with the fine folks at TFP, I feel like I know many of you very well since I lurked for so long. It's nice to come out of the shadows.
 
Welcome and many thanks for the financial support!! Best of luck with your new build.

We'd love to watch a new one progress over in Under Construction.
 
Well howdy to you Geek :wave: Another Sarpy Cty geek??

Your kids are going to *love* having a new inground pool. Skippy and I regret not putting ours in when our kids were younger.

I look forward to following along with your build thread. I hope you include LOTS of pics, eh?

Welcome! My 14-year-old son wants to be a software engineer...should I steer him towards a psychology degree first? :D

Best of luck with the build!
 
My wife got a Master's in Information Systems after getting her BS in Psychology. Not intentionally though.
 
Thank you all for the welcome!

We'd love to watch a new one progress over in Under Construction.

I started a build thread over there. Listed my equipment looking for feedback. No feedback yet but I will keep that thread updated as we progress. Thanks!

Unfortunately not, a Kearney Geek!

I'd steer just about anyone AWAY from a psychology major! But, that's just me.
