For the last 18 years I've been maintaining water & wastewater plants around the country. Not getting rich fer sure but, I've had a chance to move from one side to the other and back! When we left Mass. 6 years ago I had the frame strapped to a wall in a U-haul. We we returned it was on a trailer!

Professional wine taster.

I've always been involved with Hot Rod cars, now that I'm retired I do

I am a Safety Coordinator for a construction company down here in Houston. It pays well but it's always in the back of your mind..will this plant go "boom" today! I have lost several friends in the plants, but until I find something that pays as well, I'll be here keeping the guys safe.

Currently- 14 yr maintenance tech- cnc's, millwright, pneumatics, hydraulics,fabrication,toilet plunging & picking up after all the other pigs whose mom's aren't there to clean-up after them (not that I mean anything by that)
Former-10 yrs pushing parts in dealerships, 4 yrs in bodyshops, and have been working on cars since birth as my dad was a lifetime mechanic.
Future-probably not a Bovine fecal specialist

i manage raw materials for a machine shop .. it is crazy how much steel and aluminum prices have gone up lately .. and i dont even want to mention titanium .. about 1000 lbs of titanium plate will buy you a Z06 vette .. and we use tons of it every day to build parts for jet fighters .. titanium will burn like firewood .. i will never understand why we build our fighter planes out of it ..
