Welp, I was born an international playboy man of mystery.


To be honest there isn't time in my life except my time in the Army i haven't had a wrench or a wheel in my hand. Daddy fired me one time at 16, I went to work at the local Sonic drive in. Longest 2 weeks of my life, till we both tucked a little pride and I went back to work where I belonged

Started life as a dairy farmer with my dad. Times were tough back in 2009 so we took the buyout. ( farming is worse than ever now days!

Took a job working at Menards DC...

Started out building full pallets of store goods to be loading them onto vans to be shipped to stores.

Then I was “transferred” one day to receiving where I was unloading vans and containers. Kind of the next step up...

Then I was “transferred" one day out to the yard horse as they were in desperate need of hired hands.

I then obtained my CDL which led me to being a company driver for them.

I always wanted to be an owner operator because I was more accustomed the idea of having to worry about my own problems which led me to being one today. Although I am contracted through Menards. Works for me and work for them.

 

Production in a cabinet factory and then into the shipping department at that cabinet factory. Taught a few classes in college. Auto mechanic. Then driver/mechanic/engineer.
