Currently I'm a real-time systems developer working with telecommunications infrastructure, looking to get into astrophysics and space robotics which has been my dream since I was a little kid. Working up the money to go back to Uni. and get more degrees ^^

I am an painter/finisher. I do industrial coatings (like pipes and tanks at Dow Chemical), commercial painting (JC Pennys, office buildings and such), specialty coatings, and floors.

On occasion I will branch out and do carpentry work, if the project piques my interest.

Yep, we even have robotics now too. Still teach the "save your life and do nice things for people to make the world a better place" stuff too, but nothing rocks as hard as a 14-year old kid learning small boating from AF PJs or Recon Marines and that's the stuff I do.
