Precast Concrete Structures
I work in the corporate office of a company that designs, fabricates and erects precast concrete structures. I work specifically in sales, preconstruction and project management. The best things about my job is that I'm still employed (construction industry has been bad) and I'm slowly funding my RV-10 build. The worst part is that it has nothing to do with aviation.  Thankfully, access to VAF keeps me subdued and cooperative (moo).

Construction Superintendent
Grew up in Minnesota farming and placing concrete. Went to college, got hired as a Field Engineer and worked up through the ranks to Superintendent. Here are some pics of recent notable projects.

Hey, part of my day job was go to to an aging aircraft conference there. That balcony provides great views of Seahawks and Super Hornets! Especially while eating a great free lunch with 1000 other airplane nerds! Nice work, it's a great hotel.

Nice Photography!
Nice photography on the Hyatt. Architectural Photography was my day job until I became a full time Mr. Mom. BTW, taking care of kids is 10 times more work than any job I've ever had (and I've had some hideous jobs). If you have kids, give your wife a big hug - she deserves it! If not, give her a big hug anyway - can't hurt

First job out of college (the first time) was safety engineering for the space shuttle main engine testing program at Stennis Space Center, MS. Then into the petrochemical industry, then into electronics manufacturing. Did a bit of teaching for OSHA and the US Army while at the Texas Engineering Extension Service. Had a construction business with the XYL, until I talked her into going back into practice.
Back to grad school in structural engineering, some years in building design and structural forensic engineering. Now I talk for a living, employed (as my boss says "not really working") by the trade association for the folks that make, bend, cut, and place steel reinforcement used in concrete. I still do a bit of structural design and forensics.
It seems that an RV-8 is in my future, with the planned start date of December 1, in my "two years to taxi" program. If I can't do it in two years, I can't start it. A guy has to know his limits. Did I mention that I've been remodeling my house for 7 years?

Farming day job
Here is my day job, although I have never worked a day in my life. I am extremely fortunate to have this job and I wouldn't trade it for anything even when our harvest days stretch into 15 hours  shaking an almond tree, 6 to 7 trees a minute
 engine monitor and joystick control for shaking boom head
 ready to roll at 5:30 AM
