Transcript: Check In Software My name is Joe, I’m 43 years old, married and with three children. I commute into the city daily from a nearby suburb and work a 9-5 job. I enjoy hiking, dressing well, and keeping up with latest technologies. I lead a fast paced lifestyle and expect everyone in my life to be able to multitask as well as I can.
