I work as a cardiac nurse. I'm caring and compassionate most of the time, but become an asshole if I need something done and people don't listen.

Food - I can usually make a meal out of anything
Trivia - I know lots of useless information about stuff no one cares about.

My name is Don. I've lived in central VA since I was born here in '71.

Chris
Male

Former Air Force officer. But I was a researcher, so the Air Force didn't really provide me with any zombie-relevant skills.

None of my education is directly zombie-relevant. But I'd like to think I'm still useful.
I do have many years of martial arts training. Primarily Muay Thai, Kali, and Wing Chun. I was an assistant instructor for much of that, and I'm willing to share.

[Kevin108]

Kevin, male, 30, engaged. One of the rare Tidewater locals. I'm a carpenter by trade and a decent automotive mechanic. VCDL member. I like trail riding with both my Jeep Cherokee and Polaris Scrambler.

When I was growing up, Suffolk was still in the country. Cabinets were kept stocked and oil lamps kept at the ready just as a way of life. We were without power and water for 19 after Hurricane Isabel in 03. The family is a little more spread out now but we've all worked to make sure that we're better prepared for similar issues since then.
