I do not mind working hard. While it may not be necessary for me to work, I would like to stay active. I find that I enjoy the activity of the pear harvest each year and feel I need more year-round activity in my life.
While I loved practicing dentistry, I also enjoyed owning and operating the SealMaster Franchise as a change of pace. At this time, while I would like to stay active I would prefer to work for someone else and not have the responsibility of business ownership.
Last several years I work at the Church Pear Orchard for the three or four weeks of the harvest each year. I operate the forklifts to load the trucks and coordinate and supervise operations on the loading platform. Receiving bins from the field and coordinate loading to send pears down to cold storage. This year processed approximately 1750 bins (about 1000lbs each).
Managed day-to-day business operations of a private dental office. Over the years operated office by myself with a dental assistant, a hybienist and a receptionist. Later had two offices with two other dentists in my employ as well as multiple receptionists, hygienists and assistants.
