Hello all - looking forward to learning a ton of all of you. Little background info...

Instrument rated private pilot and former co-owner of two C172 Chickenhawks. Decided to give it up when my wife became pregnant with twins (I say "became" as if I don't know how it happened - ha!). Have been a flight sim enthusiast since I was a child - got the ultimate experience when, for my 30th bday, my wife sent me to the ATOPS 737 course at (then) COA's facility in Houston. Got a one day crash course in 738 systems and got to fly the full-motion sim the next day.

Looking to start small and build a home 737 set up overtime. Look forward to getting you guys' advice! I'm in St. Pete, Florida where I work in corporate market research, as well as adjunct college teaching.
