As a rideshare driver I have been a responsible self employed individual. Working 30 to 40 hours weekly. Having to negotiate Los Angeles traffic while trying to maximize income is no easy task. Due to the pandemic I did not work 2021.

I had to come out of retirement due to the financial collapse of 2009. Previously I was employed at the Chevron refinery in El Segundo CA. for 25 years. Beginning in 1995 I began as an operator, monitoring plant operations at the FLUID CATALYTIC CONVERTER plant. I transferred to the maintenance department after one year working as a pipefitter for 24 years. I then retired due to health issues.

Prior to rideshare I also worked as a security guard, insurance agent for short periods.

I monitored the premises at SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA HOSPITAL in Hollywood. also dealing with the at times the intake patients and/also the troublesome patients.

I started as an operator in 1975 , monitoring plant the FLUID CATALYTIC CONVERTOR plant. In 1976 I transferred to the maintenance department as a pipefitter. As a pipefitter I repaired, measured and installed new pipe thru out the entire refinery. Also the job included the removal and installation of equipment thru out the refinery and tank farm.
