Bookbinder for 23 years. Made redundant, downsized and moved to the wilds of Scotland. Not sure what to do next; maybe write a few books instead of binding them! While I make my mind up I'm making adult toys from wood.....................Well you did ask! >:D

I'm very interested in knife's, sword's, gun's, bows, and other weapons. Hopefully i can get some good pictures taken soon of me and my dad shooting together.

I'm a chief engineer on a towboat for one of the largest towboat companies in the country. Been with them for 18 years started out a green deckhand and worked my way up. Even did a stint shoreside as a port engineer for about five years. Now I'm back out on the boats and get to have three weeks off after bein gone for three weeks. I basically get a 6 month paid vacation every year!  8)

Graduated the university 2011 started as supervisor for a year at coffee house. had to leave because the management that came in wasnt great. Then worked in the fields picking citrus for a few months. back in 2010 while at the university started selling bows and materials and continued until right now, so Im presently doing that while studying to get a license to sell health and life insurance. I have a BA in Business management so I want to start my own business. I had sold insurance in the past as well while at school too, done construction and landscaping. At The moment I enjoy the struggle, with hard work and perseverance I will do something great :)

Project Estimator for electrical contractor in south florida. Started with the company I work for in 1982 part time then went full time after graduation and still with them. 47 years old and been there 30 years. I also taught apprenticeship school 2 nights a week for 10 years. Gave that up 5 years ago. Just got to be a little too much on my plate.

I guide kayak tours on the east coast of Florida.  This is more of a night job since most of our tours are to see bio luminescent organisms.  I really enjoy it and I'm also in school working on my BS in electrical engineering so I do that during the day.
Florida to Kwajalein to Turkey and back in Florida again.  Good to be home but man was that an adventure!

In my early years ran trap lines mostly for rabbits,muskrats,beavers,raccoons,weasels,and squirrels.my first reall job was working on the lobster boats in summer and draggers in fall ,logging from late fall to early spring. I really enjoyed the off shore fishery ,went after cod, hake ,flounder,herring,mackeral,bluefin tuna,crab and lobster to name a few.then decided to take the plumbing /fitting trade which has been very kind! I've worked in germany,russia ,through out canada including nunavut.life has been good!
