I work for a company that primarily builds tennis courts, both residential and for schools. We also do athelic field events like running tracks, broad jumps, etc.. Almost everything is done ground up and in-house, so you have to be versitile. When things get slow we will branch out and do concrete flat work like warehous foundations and parking lots. Since I'm genrally in on the early stages of construction, I see plenty of opptunities to use a MD in the future. ;)

Prior jobs have been a machinist in the Navy and an maintance man in the laundry/uniform rental business. Did go back to school on the GI Bill to learn industrial mechnics and automation but burnt out before I could get my degree. :'(

In my heart of hearts I wish I could be an adventurer, solider of fortune, lover of exotic women, dispeller of myths and seeker of truths. ;D

I have "worn many hats". I started out selling seeds and Christmas cards door to door, Then a paper route, A Sunday morning cook at a retaraunt at 13, printing shops, night manager of a gas station, military police, retail store manager, armed security, was a maintenance/coin teller at a bank(talk about fringe benefits!) had my own maintenance business, printer, maintenance at a hospital and nursing home, tire repairer, pizza delivery, and currently a remodeller and locksmith. Right now I'm doing remodelling at Ernie Elliot's house. Anyone who knows about NASCAR knows who Ernie Elliot is. I also helped out when the Circus came to town. I was the guy that you gave your quarter to operate the crane for the cheap prizes you spent a fortune to get. I have had alot of different jobs and that has helped me to be self sufficient as I have travelled in my life. My Grandmother always told me, "You are a unique individual and you march to your own beat, but you are smart and you will always succeed." Thank You Grandma....I love you!

I'm the clerical guy for the maintenance department at the state mental hospital. Not thrilling work but my boss and co-workers are good people.

On the side I sometimes help my uncle install countertops and cabinets when he is short a worker or two.
