Test and Trials Mechanic/opeator taking the Navy's newest badass ships to sea for testing and evaluation for 12 yrs.
Now I am a Gov emp, GS-12 NSWCCD-SSES site manager doing the same thing except now I am on the other side of the fence and the boss, I have a team that goes to sea with each ship to ensure we, the tax payers and the GOVT are getting what we paid for. Before I used to have to demonstrate to Govt Rep that the ship is ready for sea and to fight! Now I am that Govt guy! Isnt funny how life turns. I LOVE THE USA and am proud to be part of the DON, Dept of the NAVY!

Lead technician at a Chevrolet dealership. Laugh all you want, I've made a really good living at it for 7 years. Electrical, auto trans, duramax, driveability, alignment, etc. I do it all and hate every minute of it. Too bad it's all I know how to do for a living.
Welder/fabricator on the side (hey, I had to spend the G.I. Bill money on some kind of schooling!!)
Married 2 years (been together 6) . No kids (no plans to either), 3 horses, 2 dogs, and 2 cats.
