Currently 5th grade science teacher. Also dabble a bit in real estate and business. Still have my shop and all my equipment in it. Always ready for a project.

Past: Machinist(manual and CNC), CNC programmer, mechanic, welder, fabricator, business owner, street legal drag racer.

I would love to be an old school shop teacher and integrate current technology. Not many schools offer those type of classes anymore.

Former blind guy and wheelchair user. Yup, I could read n write braille at one time.

Still suffer from MARFANs.

Did the college thing.

Did newspapers, cold calling b2b, customer service, transer operator, telephone banker, sales, tech support, retail sales and now internal auditor.

Ive worked 2 jobs as well as nights and days, weekends and holidays.

I busted a end link on a sway bar I upgraded on my scion xa and used a grade 8 bolt. Yup, broke that drifting off an on ramp. Drove slower on the way home and noticed my 37 mpg Ive been getting went to 42. Then I became hooked since.
