Worked my last two years of high School working part time in the glass industry. Stayed with that for 18 more, owning my own for the last 6 years of that trade. Shifted gears in 2012 and went to work for a northern Nevada gold mine. I get to take care of the 7200 volt shovel cable. The mine does offer a great package. I work 5-4-5 so basically 14 days a month and get 14 days off with using 48 hours of vacation, and after 5 years I can do that three times a year!

I currently work as the head brewer at a small brewery in Colorado we do about 12,000 barrels a year. Brewed just short of 1800 gal of double IPA today.. We do mostly big beers -8-11% apv and barrel age beers. Also cultivating my own yeast strain from flowers that live above timberline as that has not been done much.
Do a bit of distillation as a side gig making my own spirits and ageing them. My best is a 36 mo aged apple brandy in med char oak that was ran 2x so about 85 proof. Got a lot of barrels with different stuff in them. Opening fermenting a batch of single grain whiskey right now - see how it turns out in about 2020... Also I distill all the beer I make and some of that turns out good folks either like it or they dont kinda thing.
It works out that they know that in late Aug and Sept I will not be showing up at the brewery much lol..

Forester. I look after my families timber properties, and run wildland firefighting crews for the state. Also, I help private landowners with timber/property management, and sometimes get to set things on fire for them. My inner pyro enjoys control burning a lot more than putting wildfires out.

You can tell your son we all start off with models. See on top of the reloading bench.
I got a pretty cool pic of me holding up a Terrible Towel in a jet once....I'll try and find a digital copy. Here is some stuff from the man cave. Replaced now with the reloading bench.

Been a while since I've been on here. This is a great thread. I started As an athletic trainer and strength coach in baseball working for the Rays and Orioles. Daughter was born and came home to start a second career in health clubs and now senior director of operations for my current company. Basically, I see to it that the founders continue to make a pile of money!

Took me awhile to remember that I said I'd post some picts of my models.
The one on the far right is the Navaho ICBM, next is F18, then Apollo command module with escape tower, Then B2, X15 and YF22. The Navaho, Apollo and YF22 models were made by the company model shop. There is also my B2 hat with all the pin from each aircraft.
