I have about 170hrs dual instruction given, have taught 3, 20hr Private Pilot ground school courses and have given plenty of intro flights, pre-solo checks, pre-check ride checks for other instructors who want me to go up with their student for 30 min and just give a second opinion on a maneuver their student might be having trouble with, etc etc. I have yet to be "responsible" for a primary student of my own. And then all of the sudden.........today I ended up with two brand new students who actually sought me out based on recommendations from other pilots (that was flattering ;D). One owns his own 172 and the other will be renting. One is a teacher and the other is an IT Security guy for a large university. :o
Wheeeeeeeeew......let the adventure begin!
Congratulations!
Can I point out that after all this time - you are now officially gainfully employed in the aviation industry?
He's been an eye in the sky for a lot longer .. :)
Ive been flying fixed wing and helicopters in my day job for a couple years. I just decided for some reason that I would take a stab at this instructing thing :). Ive had my CFI-A CFI-H for a while. I just havnt really used it beyond what I described above and an occasional BFR

He's been a Deputy Sheriff - Pilot for a number of years...
I have flown with him any number of times, given him F 91s, been one of his instructors at the High Altitude Training Course and tons of CD missions.
I'll fly with Rob anytime.
My mistake - enjoy instucting.
