I started life in the ski industry doing lift maintenance and snow cat operations (grooming) in the winter and carpentry in summers. Then ran a crane company, with back country cats in the winter, some stunt and movie work, then general contractor for 20 years with back country cats for “fun”. Now I restore and build custom vintage Airstream trailers. My retirement job came early...
