Driven truck since i was 16. Started on a 2 ton for two years then switched to semi's as a company driver for 7 years and have been a owner/operator for last 40 years. Never seem to get tired of hitting the road,although im taking on less work lately but doubt ill ever fully retire unless the health fails me. But dont want to buy new truck or trailer either at my age.

My work schedule gives me lots of time to hunt & fish. There sure is a lot of

Journeyman parts technician for the last 7 years coming up. Worked my way up to parts manager for about 3 of those years. Sold and sourced parts in a variety of industries. Ag, marine, small engine, now back in ag. Enjoy the work, all weekends off except one saturday a month. Don't enjoy the odd nasty phone call but that is how it goes. Drove tractor trailer for 5 years as well till I met a woman and had to be home every night.

I owned a night club here in Edmonton for 15yrs and sold out in 2005. Couldn't live like a vampire any more. Have bounced around managing some retail stores including the north side fishin' hole for a while and currently managing a financing branch but still wondering what else is out there for me (I'd like to go back to making some serious coin). Have been a DJ since I was 19 so still dabbling in that doing mobile stuff like weddings and Christmas parties. I started up AlbertaStillwaters.Com in 2002 and spend my free time in the summer teaching fly casting and one-on-one stillwater fly fishing clinics with the occasional guided trip (mostly to Texans up here on oil jobs). Would love to instruct fly fishing year round but these damn winters keep popping up every Nov.

I was a Well Tester for 15 years but have recently switched careers to work for GasFrac on the propane recovery team. Thought it was time for a switch to the only "green" alternative to fracing wells.

Hey, I think I saw you on a recent episode of CSI. I specifically remember Marg Helgenberger saying "Cr@p, our LCMSD is down, someone call Lefty".
