Hello. new to the forum today and wanted to introduce myself. I live in SE MI, and was introduced to airsoft by my 14 year old son. We as a family are now hooked!
I joined the forum to research the sport, find events, learn about the culture surrounding it, and make local contacts.
I look forward to the experience.

Welcome to the boards, av. There's a pretty big community in South East Michigan. I'm in Ann Arbor myself, as are a few others. You're hitting the boards at a relatively slow time; games aren't nearly as frequent in the winter, so you might have to wait a bit longer or drive a bit farther.
If there's anything we can do to help get you guys set up we're more than happy to help. Just let us know.

Welcome to the boards, av. There's a pretty big community in South East Michigan. I'm in Ann Arbor myself, as are a few others. You're hitting the boards at a relatively slow time; games aren't nearly as frequent in the winter, so you might have to wait a bit longer or drive a bit farther. If there's anything we can do to help get you guys set up we're more than happy to help. Just let us know. Thanks! Its good to hear the SE contigent is well represented. In my looking around, I did notice there aren't many indoor venues to play. We hope to remedy that in the near future...more to come on that as things progress. I am in the beginning stages of research on everything, from an industry standpoint...I know a lot about firearms, and train extensively with real ones...but airsoft is new to me. I am also no stranger to business, I run them for other people. It is such a great idea, and parralels the basic principles of weapon manipulations, safety, and tactics that transition into real firearms. What a great way to build a foundation for future shooters! Not to mention the fun, and family time! It will be great to get feed back from all of you, learn the ropes, and hopefully provide a new place to play in our AO. I am in Monroe btw.

I figured I would add a little to my bio here, so that people might be more comfortable replying to my posts, and just getting to know me in general.
I grew up an Army Brat and spent half my life in Germany. I have lived all over the US. My father's family is from Ann Arbor, which is how I ended up here...also, my wife is from Adrian.
In another life I was employed by the Indianapolis Police Department as a sworn officer. I enjoyed parts of the job, but not enough of them to make it a career.
I now manage commercial real estate, and have a specialty in multifamily housing. I don't sell it. I help people operate the businesses, develop the property assets, renovate, focus marketing, etc.
Father of two boys, one 14, one 2 months. I love boats and build them as a hobby. I also love dogs, and firearms, and train with an exceptional organization from Arizona...soon, I will be able to say that I love Airsoft, but not until I learn the ropes!
