I have been very lucky to be mentored by amazing people here in central Indiana including Chris Fultz and Andy Baker. I would not be the mentor that I am without their influence.

This a GREAT point. I still use the person that mentored me and now I mentor other mentor's. Find the style of the team. Some want hands on and some want hands off. Most teams are somewhere in between. Allen from Spectrum is one of the best mentor's that I have ever met. Go talk to other teams in your area. It is nice to to have others that you can talk and visit with. I do this all the time and we share advice.
