I sell parts for Jeeps, pre-runners, off-road buggies...you name it. Really, I'm just a glorified parts guy.
I deal with a lot of international people building some wacky stuff too.

Here is one of my customers new race cars, probably my favorite build of all the guys I've worked with:

 

I work on the Safety side of the house for a national contractor. I am generally on larger projects and focus on heavy civil construction. I basically get to protect people for a living. I enjoy the work and all the great people I get to work with.


I was an equipment operator, foreman, superintendent, project engineer, etc., so I have the experience as a builder and a manager.


In my other life, I was a soldier. Nothing fancy, infantry, etc. Miss it.

 

Multi-family (future crack houses/apartments, whatever hehe) construction superintendent for an owner/build company.
One thing i thought would be cool is to state the area we're from so the FTE family could support a persons cause near by.
I've been wrenching on bump and dents for pert near 30 years. I just bought an 06 f250 and i don't know a thing about diesels.
That being said, I'm in North Central Texas

 

I am a Retired Army Infantryman 20+yrs, and now I am a Department of the Army Civilian working at the Hospital on the Post near where I retired.

 

Just retired after 32 years at the University of California in the Department of Plant Pathology working in agriculture. My work was in the citrus quarantine and I was paid by grants from citrus growers here in the State to identify new varieties of citrus with commercial or scientific potential and to maintain a disease free orchard of all varieties to be distributed to growers, universities and institutions around the world.

 

I'm Director of Operations for a warehouse distribution company.

 

You guy's do some off the wall stuff I never would have guessed lol.


I am a Mechanical Engineer, mostly aerospace, some medical industry.

 

Physicist/ Fiber Optic Engineer

 

Engineer for a nuclear power plant design company. Also have a small hauling business.

On the side I do plumbing, excavating, landscaping, mechanics, farming...you name it. I'm a go getter.

 

My current view in the engine lab:

 

Well im only 21, but I have been fortunateto have worked for many friends and family at different jobs. Dad had a small dairy in NW Florida when I was a baby, just remember a few bits about that. Then he worked at the local grain elevator until I was 6. Then we bought a farm supply/small engine shop, and I worked and played there for 10 years after school, Saturdays, etc. I started tearing engines and stuff apart that were on the scrap pile when I was 8, rebuilt my first (with help from dad of course) at about 10. When I was 16 we sold the store (because of dads rheumatoid arthritis he couldn't do all the shop work anymore) and bought a chicken farm in North Alabama. Since we have been here I have worked part time for a well driller, custom work cleaning out chicken houses, worked for another friend moving dirt (my favorite of all, my Grandpa and uncle also move dirt so had prior exp.). Now I mainly help dad on the farm, we have 5 chicken houses, about 20 acres of row crop, 25 head of cows, a bunch of sheep, and a nice big shop where I can turn wrenches. I still work on small engines for friends and neighbors, and have a bunch of projects of my own. And I couldn't be happier....
