Am in the office machines and sign business - inground, carved and vinyl on cars, trucks, etc. Entering new stage of my life - after 34 years of the above, will continue but should have my Class A license in couple weeks for 18 wheelers. Plan on driving part-time now and eventually moving to full time.

I have been working on Mack trucks for 12 years now, but I was recently promoted to Shop Manager. So now I show the guys how to fix them and have to do all the paperwork that goes along with it, and deal with all of the corporate B.S.. I do enjoy it, everyday is a new day. On the side I build custom motorcycles and Hot Rods. Currently building a 62 Nova full chassis car (Ground Up ).

I'm a computer geek. Currently I provide support for electronic invoicing software to our clients and internal staff for a large oil & gas company.
However in the past I've done everything from short order cook, worked in a bar, retail, accounting (payroll, etc) and I even worked as a survey's helper in a copper mine. Somehow I went from accounting to computers, then to teaching people about computers/software etc. I love computers but never thought this is what I'd end up doing...lol. Way back in highschool I wanted to be a math teacher. Funny where life can lead you.

It's a tough life...
Used to repair and test the 4T45E's...now I set-up tools for the machining process at Windsor Transmission. I also hassle GTOMike when he drives by on his lifttruck.
Come September, I'll be retiring from the "old bus barn" with 31 yrs.
