I live in Hoover now. Just moved from Japan last year, but sadly I permanently work in Iraq at the moment (18 Months and counting). I am working on getting my own business started so I can stay Stateside and will remain in the Birmingham area.
Check these guys out. Young forum but alot of enthusiastic guys with desire, they have regular meet and greets and are trying to get some stuff started if you guys aren't already on there.
I threw up a link to Zilvia in my intro there, so I figure, no one will mind here.
