You like comparing me to tv characters,eh? Make it Charlie Sheen next time.:p

Started at age 21 out of College, got married a year later and still married to the same wonderful woman. Will be 55 in December.

I am Randy, my profession should be obvious.

...... and for a day job I build to the sky. Houses, Room Adds, etc .... licensed by the State of Cantaffordit since 1975 as self-employed Building Contractor..... and, of course at night-time I am Randy.

I'm afraid to answer that!:)

Kind of not so proud of my current "profession"...bicycle technician, I guess. I assemble things at a sporting goods store...bikes mostly, build and repair, but also put together barbecue grills, furniture, gun cabinets, fitness equipment, etc.

I am on "lay off" (temporary or permanent TBD) from a large electrical and instrumentation contractor that handles construction and maintenance in the petrochemical manufacturing facilities down here. I had been in purchasing/receiving/procurement/materials for a while on a few different jobs in refineries like Shell Oil, Marathon Oil, Valero Oil, etc.

Formerly, I worked in food for quite a while, about 15 years. I've ran kitchens large and small, for every weekend and holiday, missed birthdays, easters, mother's days, etc. I've worked 110 hour weeks for a month straight, cooked for more than 10,000 people in a day, cooked for political figures/heads of state, and actors/celebrities, etc. I ran a hotel/casino kitchen that was open 24 hours. I had venues...lounge, sports bar, casino buffet, sandwich shop, coffee shop, seafood restaurant, room service for 300 room hotel, cigar bar, VIP lounge, hotel restaurant, 1000 employees meals a day, and all the banquet function rooms (weddings, reunions, political conventions, exhibitions, etc).


I guess I have a lot more to say about what I used to do. :(

Quality Manager for TRW
 

I'm the Quality Manager for TRW Parts and Service North America and responsible for a plant here in Michigan and plant in Indiana, I've been with the same company for 23 years (it just happened to change names awful lot) when it was Kelsey-Hayes and then Lucas and then TRW in 1998. Before that I worked for GM powertrain for 11 years, so you can see my life has been all Automotive.

My wife Leslie also works TRW as a system business analysis and has work there for about 22 years. We have been married for 18 years.

I own my own electrical contracting company. I do all sorts of electrical work, but I much prefer the residential service work end of it, like remodels and trouble shooting, service changes and the such. I have wired so many new homes it just isnt a challenge and that gets boring. Also working on starting a firearms sales and indoor shooting range business as well.

I have been self-employed since '93,
owning a Painting & Decorating business...Waving
