EOD in the military (explosive ordinance disposal), worked in the family contracting business before and after. Generally turn key houses and apartment buildings.
If you need something built or blown up, I'll see what I can do.

Florida Certified General Contractor.

I wasnt EOD in the military but I was Airborne Infantry. My very first job was a tank killer. I blew some serious stuff up in Afghanistn and Iraq.

However, if you need a building built or some nice crown just give me a call.

I'm currently the Network Administrator at The University of Findlay here in Ohio. I've started at the bottom and worked my way up, starting as a computer tech at a local computer repair store. One of the perks...the 10 gig fiberoptics we have in our core network. Damn that's fast.

Man! My line of work is useless in RC but here it is anyway.

I am a Medical Radiation Scientist (X-ray bloke at the hospital)
My specialty is Computerised Tomography (CT for short) Used to be known as a CAT scanner.
I can scan someones body/limb/head and then make fancy schmancy medical images from them. I can also recreate their organs, faces, bones in 3D rendered format.

I run a national car rental company web site I built as a amature. My little site generated 3.6m in customer bookings last 12 months. I take 7% commission for bookings. Google brings me about 1800 unique visitors a day for relevant terms for our major city locations. I love Google and I hate it, like getting warmth from a volcano, so you can't get upset when it erupts with an algorithm change.

Before that i drove 32 tonne excavators (the gimbals to control them worked like R/C), digging big holes for high-rise buildings, different working life now but still sit in a chair with A/C all day.

I've waited tables/tended bar all over the planet. Need to know what's in a cocktail? Spent a year in real estate - didn't work for me. Have my private pilot's license, working on my commercial. Want to do some flying in a light plane in Ottawa, Canada; write me a note!
