[Doug McCaughan]

1) Your location
Rocky Hill area of West Knoxville

2) The kind of work you do

Anything tech. Primarily PHP and ColdFusion web application driven by
either MySQL or MS SQL.

3) What you're really passionate about

My 5 children, my wife, juggling, technology particularly cutting
edge, Scouts, the outdoors, and working on my house/yard.

4) If you're at all interested in the possibility of setting up a
physical coworking space

I have toyed with the thought before. If an incubator type of space/
organization led to a decent, affordable health care plan, then yes.
Otherwise, its doubtful. Would be nice to have access to a meeting
room particularly if it could accommodate 10 workstations or so for
hands on classes.

5) What your biggest challenge is right now

Doing too much of the overhead work myself (eg. accounting, sales,
etc)

6) A way you enjoy helping others who are self-employed, independent,

or starting up their own business> or starting up their own business
Absolutely.
