Cool, you forman at Carter GM?? I think almost all of my highschool buddies worked there back in the day.

Myself, I am a one man show. Own/operate/manage etc a Retail Furniture store in Burnaby, BC, Canada: www.furnitura.ca have been doing this for almost 10 years. My father was an owner of a local sofa manufacturing plant so I've known sofa construction since I was a small kid. Retail has it's ups and downs. Ups: rewards and profits of owning your own business downs: tons of time invested and you are customer driven so the slow economy has really effected my industry alot in the last few years.

2nd job is I also am a property manager, mainly commercial/warehouse space. Property is my investing 102.

3rd job, help raise my twin daughters and have a 3rd en route.

As you can see I'm an extremely busy guy wish I had time to attend events..

I'm a Mechanical Engineer at a mountain bike company. A job I love but also spans outside the 8hrs a day with all the fun biking, so kindof impedes on car work haha.

Former military, former LEO, now full time helicopter flight school student. Just finished my instrument rating, commercial rating next, followed by instructor and instrument instructor rating . With any luck, I will be instructing flight students for pay in 8 or 9 months. Flying is absolutely a blast, but I do miss law enforcement. Considering going reserve with my local PD to keep my foot in it.

Manage a family business. We work with dairy farmers so I guess that means I help feed the world. Or I atleast help get the cheese on top of Scott Mock's Five Guys Burgers he's always talking about in his build thread. :D

I am an electronics engineer focusing on RF (radio frequency) and analog hardware design. I have been working for a major telecom supplier for the past 14 years alternating chief engineer and project manager roles on 4G, 3G, and 2G base station development programs. It's a young man's game but I hope to last another 10 years until I retire.

Airborne Battle Management Systems Operator on E-3 AWACS. It;s kinda like ATC in the air but for combat stuff, I don't do the controlling I just look at the picture and determine who's who. Not really a civilian job to transfer too :D

I'm a National Account Manager for Stanley Black and Decker. I work in the Handtools and Fastening division. Having access to mechanic tool sets, air tools, tapes, knives, and blades really helps with all the projects I do. Been with them for 5 years and I love it.
