Just trying to get a little more familiar with the WarriorCentral Family and see what every one does for a living. I know some of you pretty well and such but it would still be cool to know what you spend your days doing. I'll start off by saying I am a very proud United States Marine and have been since 2005 right after I graduated high school. Now after 8 years and a family of my own its time to hang up my boots and move on. I would like to settle down and watch my kids grow up in the same house and not be moving all the time. My next venture I hope will be in the offshore oil industry with a very good friend of mine (and ours) Sparky. Now what do you do?

Well up until today I was running an auto parts store. But I quit to start selling school bus parts. The automotive industry is all I've ever worked in. Was a certified mechanic for a few years out of high school.

I will be 30 next year and I have worked in the timber cutting business for about 14 years or since I was old enough to know better and my body still didn't care. Recently started a family and decided to pursue an associates degree that couples HVACR certs for 1 year and Cert Electrician classes the other year being awarded an associates at the end as well as being a certified electrician and HVAC installer...

I am 46. Been an automotive machinist since graduating from Vo-Tech in 1986. Been with my current employer for 19 years. My co-worker and I are pretty much jack of all trade guys. Mechanic, plumber, carpenter, electrician, machinist, and I also dabble in computer repair at home as a hobby. In between all that I dabble in ATV repair and restoration.

I will be 45 next week, I have been an auto painter for 26 years, dabbled in a few other things here and there like R&D for a spray gun company, sold paint and body supplies for a while, but always in the body shop industry. I have a blended family with my wife, between the 2 of us we have 5 kids, and 5 grandkids. I have ridden my whole life, but was never much of a mechanic until I got hooked up with you guys. Thanks for all the help and info, you guys are great.
