Life updated Sept. 2013: and updated again in 2017 and 2018 and 2019 Well, I guess it is time to change my bio. After High School I held no job for more than a year. Along the way I got married, managed a drive in theater, worked in hospital security, became a cop which I dearly loved, had a son, worked at a university where I met a lot of great people both staff and students, Some of the students are still my friends today and I had fun there. got divorced, managed over 40 different security accounts with over 100 employees which was very hectic and stressful. I grew and learned a little more with every job and relationship along the way, In 1980 i moved to Mexico, Missouri to become a Public Safety Officer. I describe being a Public Safety Officer as driving around in a police car being a cop until a fire call comes out and then you find the nearest phone booth and change into bunker gear and become a fireman. After the fire is out you then take off the bunker gear (phone booth optional) and become a cop again. This job lasted about eight years until I got hired as a public safety officer at a University back in St. Louis. After three years I was promoted to the rank of Sergeant. I stayed at the university for about nine years until the departments duties were outsourced. I then ended up working as a Branch Manager for the contract security company that got the contract. I held that position in two different companies for about six years (three years apiece). In 2003, due to mergers and administration changes, I became unemployed for the first time in 23 years. After about half a year I was asked by a former co-worker to come to work for him and help him start up the security department for a new hotel. In 2005 I bought a house in Hazelwood and the next year I started working as a dispatcher in that police department and thought that I never should have stayed away from public law enforcement for so long. However, being in law enforcement behind a radio is a lot different than being involved in it on the street. So, after a year I stepped away from it. This allowed me to go into the second of three career paths that I thought in my younger days I wanted to do. At the end of 2007 I became a truck driver. Update Sept. 2013: When I was young there were 3 jobs I thought I wanted to do. Police officer, truck driver, and airline pilot. Well 2 out of 3 isn't to bad and I think it may be too late to become an airline pilot. After police dispatching I went to school to become a truck driver in 2007.. Which allowed me to meet a wonderful woman. I was dedicated to a Walmart distribution center in southern Illinois.. She transferred to Asset Protection and worked the truck gate at the end of the year I started. After about 2 years with her she asked what I thought about her learning to drive and us team driving cross country. We did that from 2010 until 2014 and were in 47 of the 50 states. In 2012 we bought a motor home and started working only every other month and travelling in the motor home the other month. We took it to San Diego for a Marine Corps graduation and we took the wonderful woman's mother to Best Friends animal sanctuary in Utah. Life does have it's ups and downs, but right now it's pretty good. Oh, and I don't think airline pilot has much of a chance of happening at this stage of life. 2017 Update First I removed everything but the country from my location because that is about all I can guarantee. In 2014 I gave up truck driving to become a full time RVer and I guess semi retire at the ripe old age of 59. Last June after my son moved out of it, I even sold my house. We go where we want and work where and when we want. In 2015 it was at an amusement park in Iowa for the summer. In 2016 it was 6 months in Alaska. Then it was selling Pumpkins and Christmas trees in California. Then I visited family before spending the rest of the winter in the warm Arizona desert. After another trip to St. Louis for my son'...Expand for more
