Commercial Fisherman/Tender boat captain.

In the winter these days I usually pot fish for cod in Kachemak Bay, used to do the Bering Sea crab gig but IFQs really changed things plus I'm getting a little old for a crab deck.

In the summer I take my wife and three kids and we run a salmon buying/tender operation in Prince William Sound. It's a pretty great way to spend the summer.

Between seasons I work on all my toys, bus included.

Religious cultie
CPA
Construction supervisor
Ex-religious cultie
Insurance agency owner
Now massage therapist with my wife

These varied jobs were part of my education leading to a very different and rewarding path of helping others. It has given me perspective and hopefully to find some growth and enlightenment along the way.

I enjoy working on the van and creating something new out of the old. as well as woodworking, guitar and whatever projects that help me learn and create.

Thanks to everyone who has shared on this forum!

I probably already posted cause this thread is long and probably old but...
Im a custom architectural metal fabricator at Harriet industries.
We have an Instagram if anyone wants to look.
Doors, railing, fireplace surround, furniture etc.
I am a hands on fabricator here and the oldest in the shop, so I also advise the draftsman. Helping solve problems of mechanics and structural validity since I've seen and built 40 years of stuff and he's still in his late 20's with no education about aesthetics and very limited experience on anything but cad.
He's a nice kid who's rebuilding an early 80's golf.
