I am retired.

In my life, I have been a paper boy, a United States Marine, a construction laborer, a restaurant manager, a potash mine loading dock laborer and operator, a professional actor, a sound technician for a professional theatrical production, a gourmet food-processing manager, a directory assistance operator, a bartender, a security guard, a furniture warehouse worker and deliverer, a college student, a graduate student, a manager of a homeless shelter, a licensed Master's-level Child Protective Services Social Worker (LMSW), an instructor working with developmentally-challenged children and adults, a restaurant busboy and all-round bon vivant.
