Well, at 15 I started working at a Golf Course in Marysville, Oh. In 4 years I did every odd job around that golf course you can think of and then some.

Went to college, but still worked. The first year of school I worked for, get this “ACME Painting Company”. Never saw the Road Runner, but that Coyote was running the place. My second job while in college was Gahanna Electric doing odd jobs. With the main job having me servicing all the Lighting needs for all the Clark Gas Stations in Ohio. My last job in college was working for Radio Shack. I needed to clean up so I could start interviewing for what I thought was going to be a real job.

Once out of college I worked for Rockwell International/The Boeing Company (Boeing bought all of Rockwell’s defense business in 96) as a Field Service Engineer in support of the Nuclear Submarine Fleet. In particular I support the fleets Inertial Navigation Systems aboard all Trident Submarines.

In the past I have worked at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard during overhaul work in support of 594, 637, 640 and 688 class submarines. General Dynamics Electric Boat shipyard during new construction of 688 and 728 (Trident) class submarines, Norfolk Naval Base as the Atlantic fleet technical representative and Newport News Shipyard during new construction of the last five 688 submarines. Currently working onboard the USNS WATERS (based out of Cape Canaveral, FL), which is a naval research vessel doing Trident Submarine testing and such.

So, to all you land lubbers, ahoy from the Bermuda Triangle!!
