Meet the Mods....

[erin]

Hi Everyone!

Welcome to the FVNorthwestern forums! We hope that you will find this to be an informative and fun place. Here are a couple of suggestions to make your stay with us a little more enjoyable. It's great if you can introduce yourself here in this Meet & Greet section, it allows others to learn who you are and is an instant way to get your toes wet. Also, the forum rules are posted at the bottom of the page under "Forum Rules"...the forum is divided into several different sections. Next to each section you will find a description as to what topics go in that particular section. We would recommend reading the stickies posted in each section as well. We moderators are here to help and guide you in whatever way possible...we all started out as members and have a great love of the site. Being a moderator is a volunteer position but we are paid by seeing what a great group of members we have. Here's a little bit of information about each of us.


Hi all. I am Anne. I have been on this forum basically from the beginning. I was a regular member of fishnchat and have been a avid follower of “Deadliest Catch” since the beginning. Like all fans I am also on the Discovery Board, though not that much. When I am not here I am at work selling Travel or helping my mom with her catering business. Any free time I have is donated to the Boy Scouts or to the state Historical sites. I do 17th and 18th century re-enactments.

I am here as a moderator to make your time here enjoyable. To assist you in any way to ensure that. If you ever have any concern or would like to give positive feed back please feel free to contact me. I am here for you, my online family.

Hi, I'm Erin. I have been a member since July of 2006. I love this board and have made some great friends. I find that almost every day something I read here will make me either laugh, learn something new, or want to beat someone with a frying pan...sometimes all three. In my real life I am a mother and wife. I have two little girls ages 5 years and 4 months named Hannah and Madeline. I am an avid jogger. I also enjoy skiing, hiking, climbing...anything that has me out in this wonderful Colorado weather. I feel that my job as a moderator is to attempt to ensure that every member has an enjoyable and knowledgable experience when they come to this site. If you have any questions, problems, or suggestions feel free to PM me. Or if you have nothing to say and just want to drop me a line, I'd like that too. Oh, and most importantly, my spell check doesn't work at this site and having tried for over a year to get it to do so, I have given up. So advance apologies for all of the typos.


Hi, I'm Pat aka patque. I've been a member since June of 2006. Before these forums were created, I was a member of a now defunct site called fishnchat. Many of the oldest Deadliest Catch fans met each other there. Prior to that, I was an avid poster on the Discovery forums so I've been chatting about "Deadliest Catch" and the Fishing Vessel Northwestern and crew for several years now. But believe it or not, I do have a life, lol. In the "real" world, I live in Dubuque, Iowa, right along the Mississippi river. I have a full grown daughter and she now has her own little daughter...And they all live with me and my four crazy cats! When I'm not on the Northwestern forums, I'm either blogging about "Deadliest Catch" or I'm working at making a living talking about and selling medical supplies. If you ever have any questions or concerns about anything at all on the Northwestern Forums, please feel free to private message me. For me, the community we have here is special and one of a kind. If there is such a thing as an online family, this place is it for me.

Hi! I'm Scottie. I have been a member since October 2006 but lurked for a couple of months before joining. I am the mother of two adult children and I have two grandchildren. I was born in Scotland and brought up on the west coast of Vancouver Island and come from a family of fishermen, lighthouse keepers, and Canadian Coast Guard. My husband and I work in the construction industry. My interests, other than the NW and DF forums, are tallships, showjumping, and quilting. My favorite thing to do is walk the beach looking for shells and glass balls with my man. Please feel free to contact me anytime and I always look forward seeing what interesting tidbits you all will find and share with us. I care deeply for this forum and, with the other moderators, strive to keep it happy, calm, and respectful for our forum family which you are now a part of. Now off and enjoy!

So to give you a little idea about who I am I will introduce myself.
I am empress of joy, in the real world my name is Wil.
I am a woman that came in to this world in 1971, born, raised, and still living in the Netherlands.
I have one son, born in 2001, and he answers to the name Quentin Damion, he is the love of my life and though he has autism he and i have a special bond together.
I am a housemom and since the birth of my son and my bad health, I don't work anymore outside the house.
Besides the NorthWestern, I also have as hobbies: embroidery, reading, and astrology.
I am open, honest, straight to the point, stubborn and suspicious, also superstitious.
Enough about me, if you like to know anything about me, feel free to ask.

Hey, I'm Kat (aka concertkat). I've been a member here since February of 2007 and for a time I was the sites chat host. In my real life I've worked in the entertainment industry for the last 10 years as a stagehand. My big passion is photography and I've been focusing on it more lately. My other interests include writing, researching, history, and cooking. If you have a question don't be afraid to ask.
