6 years active air force, special purpose vehicle mechanic, SSgt.
Until yesterday I managed a fleet of truck/tractors that haul components around the MinuteMan III missile field in Montana. I move to Elmendorf AFB, AK over the next week and begin a new chapter.
I've been a medical laboratory scientist for just over 6 years.
During my long college career, I was a cook for almost 10 years. Basically I can cook everything and anything. I would have to say, smoking is a totally different animal all together. Sure I can cook a mean steak, but BBQ'ing tasty tender brisket is a different sport.
If I were to leave the lab, I would probably open my own restaurant...it would be one of those awesome everything from scratch kinda places like you see on Triple D (Diners, Drive-in's and Drives)
Civil Engineer with 20 years of heavy construction experience.
I oversee all aspects of construction projects in the $3 million to $15 million dollar range. Lots of earth moving projects and water treatment plant construction projects. Lots of complicated problem solving on the fly. I learn about the automation aspects of water treatment plant projects and apply the automation to control my charcoal smoker...my wife says I should build bbq's for NASA. She might be overstating that but it's all fun.
I am a registered massage / physical therapist. Been at it about 5yrs, was a concrete finisher before this. Considering a career change within the next 5yrs. There aint much authentic bbq round here. I plan on changing that.
