Worked as a draftsman for an engineering firm that did industrial refrigeration for a few years after technical school then took a job as a CAD designer for a company that makes power steering gears for the trucking industry. For the last 7 1/2 years I have been a designer for a defense contractor and loving every minute of it.

I grew up on a farm, then spent 12 years in retail management and got burned out. Was going to get involved back into the agriculture field but I fell into a job with what I had loved my entire life, working in the aerospace field. I am a composite technician for a small aerospace company; 23 people, and we do work for NASA, Boeing, Gulfsteam, the military, and right now heavily involved with prototype work and aluminum molding for the A5 sport airplane by ICON Aircraft ( which everyone should check out ) www.iconaircraft.com.

I am a stagehand at the Metropolitan Opera House in NYC. I have worked back stage or on set since high school. I even studied it in college for a couple years. I have worked in various shops building scenery and maintaining lighting and rigging equipment. I have also worked on Broadway shows, Rock shows, and just about every other form of entertainment from the smallest theatres to a few concerts in Yankee stadium. I also worked as a grip on feature films, television, and commercials in studios and on location all over NY and NJ for about 5 years in the late 90s. I have been a union member since 1990.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
