Following David's lead... My name is Mark, aka GoNorthWest. I love in Oro Valley, AZ with a beautiful wife and two beautiful kids. I work in the IT industry, and love technology. I also LOVE traveling, and photography of all kinds! I have a passion for helping other people be successful in whatever I can help them with! And I'm hugely indebted to buzztouch for providing such an amazing service! Mark

Pleased to meet you Mark. I'm Alan. A Mad Scotsman that had a dream of somehow making an app! I live in Fife, Scotland with my Wife and 3 children I currently work as a taxi driver and know next to zip about coding hence I truly am Mr Stuck most of the time. I found buzztouch and with the superb help from guys like yourself I now have some knowledge and even published a few Apps. Buzztouch and the amazing community here and I have been blown away by the level of support offered here. I try hard to pass on some the knowledge I have learned but sometimes get wrong. Onwards and upwards. All the best!

Good biography! @Mr Stuck - Next time I'm in Edinburgh, I might set up another meetup there. I can't guarantee it though!

@Annandale Apps. That sure would be one to keep the diary clear for. Take a sick day off work or anything else to make sure I get there. Keep me posted thanks!

Well, I'm down in Oxford, but sometimes I go up north to Edinburgh. I don't know when, but at the soonest would be Hogmanay. You can join in our Oxford Meetup on Google Hangouts on Wednesday. here is the address: [email protected]

Mark - You are a resource like no other on here. The community would not be the same without you.

Thanks, Keith! Right back at ya! It takes a community to build an app! Mark

@Macapple, I couldn't agree more. I find myself wandering if @GoNorthWest ever sleeps. He always seems to be active in the forum. Both Mark and yourself have helped me a great deal since I joined and the community would not be same without either of you! And many others I could mention. Thanks.

@GoNorthWest, So you are a "buzztouch" lover. Well, all of us here at buzztouch are a "Mark" lover. We really appreciate all you have contributed to the growth of the community. From all of your many forum posts and helpful answers to your great How To docs, you continue to amaze us. Thanks for all your work and wisdom...

@Stephen Hear hear!

thanks GoNorthWest for getting me through my first app!

Pleased to meet you, @MrStuck! I've very much appreciated your comments and insight in the forum! And, as much as I dislike to sleep (until I'm actually asleep, at which point I hate to wake up), I do force myself to go to bed from time to time! @Stephen...I seriously can't wait to meet all you guys in person! I'm so tempted to just hop in my car and do a marathon driving session to Monterey. I love that place already, and knowing you guys are there makes it even better! Mark

I've got to do a Buzztouch US Tour sometime. Now though, I have studies and exams to do at school, so it will have to wait till gap year! I's love to see you guys over there in the US. I havent been to the States, so it would be great for me just to see your nation. It'll have to wait a good 4 or 5 years though (unless our family goes over there [and I presuade my parents to let me see you guys]). GoNorthWest, you're great. No other way to say it!

Nice to know you Mark : )

Hello MarK, nice to meet you. But for sure no one (except the new ones) needs your introduction. We all know you and your valuable work for this community. You are like a third eye, keeping watch on the community and ready to help anyone who is in need. You rock...

@Annandale - Thanks! @leon7000 - Nice to know you as well! @Sandeep - Thanks!

I can't wait for the day we all meet in person! You are an awesome asset to buzztouch! You have done so much for the community and personally thank you for everything!

Thanks, @Sheri! I'd give anything for a meetup in WA! I love that state so much! And thanks for the props, and everything you do for buzztouch as well. It truly take a community to make a great app! Mark

Hey Mark, Good to finaly meet you today although it was via a google hangout. Really apreciate all the time you have spent in the past doing those PDF's. You are a great resource within the forum. I Love your work !! I look forward to learning more from you in the future. Kristen

Hey Kristen, I was great meeting you as well! I love putting faces and voices to posts! I love the look of the plugin you are developing...that looks pretty cool. I was checking out you web site the other day...do you guys ship to the US? Looking forward to talking/hanging out more! Mark

Hi Mark, We don't currently. Our manufacturers are in South Africa, I know them personally hence how I got the distribution rights for Australia and NZ, I suppose there is always a way, but if you know someone in the industry looking for the next best thing in endurance sports drink, give them my details, we started off very small in Aus and are making big strides in this market. If you in need of something that is diabetic and child friendly I am sure I can send you off a sample pack to try out. Our target market is the endurance sports, like Ironman, ultra running, cycling etc. Cheers Kristen ps Our new site will look something like this www.32gi.com

I do a lot of mountain biking, which is why I was asking. Would love a sample if it's inexpensive to get to the US. I'll send you a PM and maybe we can work something out! Mark Love the new site!
