If and when you meet me Dan you will see I have plenty of passion for the hobby I love my job and I even do stuff outside of work at no charge to my boss just because I enjoy it. Taigen is about 90% of my job and it always gets first priority from me even if I have IMEX stuff to do. You may not see many personal builds from me, but in the future it might start back up. When I started no connections to the public were being actively pursued and I wanted to change that. I made it my own goal to reach out to forums (I did more than a few in the beginning but RCU ended up being my go-to) and to setup and maintain both the Taigen and IMEX Facebook accounts. This helps get people into the hobby as we have a MUCH large reach and people feel much better about entering a new hobby if they know there is someone to talk to 9-6 M-F on either the phone or internet in multiple places.
I also visit almost every hobby show we go to minus the out of country ones (as of now) and the tanks are MINE. No one can sell them or even give specs on them except for bossman and sometimes I take over and take his spotlight I really like what I do and I'll be making sure Taigen keeps stepping up our game a bit at a time!

Edit: Also, even though our IR sales are very tiny, we have absolutely NO plans to stop IR production. I believe IR is a very important part of tanking and so does bossman. This is another bit I just wanted to add in... Even though IR is not near as popular we do not care and still will be pumping out both airsoft AND infrared models for all future tanks as well.
