Amazingly, I found a dude on the Internet having virtually the same accolades as cabinetmaker named Robbin Stephenson (Facebook page locked last night) who both use the same email address that ONLY cabinetmaker uses and only used once to register on Cryptsy, hence now wanting to sue or kill Paul Vernon depending on what the heat index is in the desert in West Texas in Midland, TX.

I have degrees in both electronics technology and computer science.
I used to design, build and empliment automation instrumentation, including all forms of communications equipment, compouterized equipment, you name it.
I am fluent in several computer languages, you might call ancient.
cobol, fortran, pascal, c, c++, assembler (depending on which chip), and most of the visual languages.
Operating systems sych as cics (early 80's), dos (ibm or microslut, take your pick), among several others.
I can build you a car,from scratch, give me a frame and I can go from there.....build you a house, wire it, plumb it, frame it, pour and smooth the concrete, lay the bricks, put up your sheetrock and tape and bed it, float your ceiling, and texture the hell out of your walls, and ceiling(s), run wall paper, then landscape the crap out of it, build decks, shoot gunnite pools, climb and maintain ANY microwave tower and equipment
among a whole crap load of other things I have learned to do in 55 years of doing it. Earning money in a job since I was 12, working at a gas station, for 65 cents an hour.
On top of al lthat, I can rope and ride like any cowboy on the circuit, and used to ride rodeos at age 16 and 17. Worked on a REAL sheep and cattle ranch, in paintrock Texas at that age, too, every summer for 3 years. Hoed weeds in the cotton patch, watermelon patch, and corn patches, every one of those summers, in addition.
Bottom line is, there isn't much I am not capable of learning and remembering, at least until the alzheimer's kicks in..
I could eventually do it myself, but why waste talent and time?
I am 65.
I got tired of programming years ago, after 35+ years of doing it.
If someone already knows how to do it, and how to show me or someone else how to maintain it, that's a plus, because of time and effort.
I have always believed in the terminology "the smart guys always know how to find the right people to put 'around' them".
The things I would look for are
1) up front-ness 2) honesty 3) ability 4) knowledge
among many other factors.
I don't like back doors.
I don't like "proprietary" additions that require someone to come back time and again, for so-called maintenance.
and always keep in mind:
hand-shake deals are a thing of the past.
NO ONE keeps a hand-shake deal.
No one can enforce a hand-shake deal.
If they tell you they are one of a kind and keep handshake deals, then walk away, they are lying sob's. I don't care who you are.
You can't tell me any different, because I have been there, federally, cost me a ton of money to find out....and hand-shake deals don't hold water, not even a drop.
Ever heard of buffet or gates or anyone else making a handshake deal and keeping it?
bullcrap!

My #1 saying is:
"You don't bullshit me, and I won't bullshit you!", period.
