We built large generator enclosures for back up power for server farms like Google and Facebook. I picked it up pretty fast and made a good impression for quality work. I had a minor knee operation last year. They offered me a lead position if i stayed but its rather hard on the body. Its just a younger mans work. It was sad to leave.

• Operated range of heavy equipment on regular basis with advanced skill.
• This was a variety of cranes rigging and moving wind towers around the plant and loading on trucks.
• Laid off when they stopped producing towers.

Got my foot in the door as a crane opp moving the poured slabs around as needed. My supervisor could see i was bored and started training me in other jobs and made me a floater eventually. I was learning my 7th job in as many months when Broadwind called me back. It was nice to know i could learn and absorb like that again. And really appreciated the freedom my supervisor gave me to do so.

• Operated range of heavy equipment on regular basis with advanced skill.
• The Telehandler experience from the previous job helped me learn to operate the the Reach slackers and Marine lifts we used to move the Wind towers and materiel's around the plant as they were built, stored, and loaded on trucks for shipment. It was a interesting job because of the variety of tasks. I went out of my way to learn everything about it and over the 8 years managed to work my way to Lead man.
• Towers slowed down and with it went my shift.

After tech school i worked for a buddy who re-claimed wood from barns and factory's. Very dangerous hard work.

This made Broadwind sound amazing! :p But without the experience of working outside all day year round from this i may have passed up on it

This is the old cold storage warehouse where i got my main warehousing,shipping,receiving experience. The pay here motivated me to go to Tech school next.

Built wooden cabinets for large institutions. Switched to the machine shop where you produce the smaller parts by blue print. Was a good experience and a good job for its time. This layoff hurt.

This was the vinegar bottling plant. Small crew and we rotated all the positions every hour. So as the product changes we changed over all the machines for the new boxes, bottles and labels. This was good experience setting up and changing over all the machines. Also some QA and lab work. It had a bit of everything. The company closed down.

Did basic and my MOS training "13P" in Ft Sill OK.

Ended up at Ft Stewart GA .

This was an early digital computer that could redundantly create a fire mission for the M270 rocket artillery launchers. It was in the back of a personal carrier full of radios. Wild to think back on that kid today but that's the kind of things that change you.

The local moving company and my high school summer gig.
