Workplace
After getting out of the Army in 1968 I started working for Eli Lilly working in several locations within the Indianapolis area. I eventually ended up in Lafayette, In. working in Chemical Manufacturing for 25 years, transefered back to Indy working on a new project where I ended my career after 34 years. Retired in 2002. After taking off for a year got bored and started working for a Toro Turf equipment distributor in Indy as the Commercial Service Business Manager, where I presently still work. What is nice about this job is that Toro has a Suite at the Speedway and I help manage it through the Indy 500 and Brickyard 400, pretty suite gig no pun entended.
