what do you do for a living

[St8LineGunsmith]

Before I became disabled I was a Master Pipe Welder/fitter Boilermaker

and owned my own dragster and motorcycle chassis shop

before I became a welder I worked as a saddlemakers apprentice that is where I learned how to do leather work from one of the best saddle makers in the state of Tennessee.

I have been a professional donut eater for the last 18 years, but I have also worked as a bicycle mechanic, at a large gun shop, a teacher and a martial arts instructor. I am currently a patrol sergeant and I am in charge of my department's firearms training program. I can't wait to retire and make leatherwork my full time business.

I have a pretty eclectic professional background. I did close-up magic professionally for many years, when I was young, but couldn't justify the travel after my daughter was born. Worked a few years as an aircraft fuel operator. I then started working as a pfofessional photographer after a friend taught me the craft. Then I went to college, got an A.A.S. in Criminal Justice. Became a police officer in a small town in Colorado after living in Los Angeles and Seattle most of mylife until then, 1995/ While a cop, I went back to school, finished a B.S. in Bus Management, then started a M.A. in Psych. I got promoted to detective for a few years. After several years in law enforcement, I wanted to use my Psych stuff more, so I became a counselor at a Juvenile Prison, counseling S.O.'s I also opened a wedding photog business while working at the prison. When that got really busy, I left the prison on did wedding photog professionally for a few years. During that time, my health went down hill, I can no longer work. So, my wife works and I supplement making leather goods.

I'm a network administrator on a College Campus. I tell everyone that I basically handle everything from where your computer plugs into the wall until it all hits the internet. I manage all the cable/fiber optics, networking closets, wireless, etc... in about a dozen buildings (and 7 outreach centers) and I'm also in charge of a couple hundred servers. So, needless to say, by the time I get home it's a pretty nice change in pace to switch from technology to leather
