Made a career change into the craft beer industry this past spring.  I'm attending classes at the local CC for craft beer operations.  Meanwhile, I got a job on the canning line at the local brewery.

It's a job that lends itself to golf. Any job that involves time off in the summer when the weather is at its best (or at least warmest) lines up well with golf.

Off the cuff here but were you USAF QA at one time?  For some reason the US Aerospace industry really likes prior USAF for writing tech manuals, specifications, documents, etc.

I was a USAF Helicopter Flight Engineer. I was like QA as a Flight Engineer. So, yes, you are right. Haha.

Is the Catalina Wine Mixer really the biggest helicopter leasing event in the western US?

Over the past six months I have rather enjoyed reading about the different jobs and occupations of members here. There has been quite a bit of variety.

You would have to work harder, it's a scam.

Not a professional anymore but when I was younger I was in a band and we signed a deal with EMI. Put our a few albums and toured for a few years. Never made any money but had a blast and met my wife out of the deal.

Not as my day job, but I currently drum in two bands and also do fill-in gigs.  The third band went on hiatus last month for the winter season, which has freed up time to get stuff done around the house and focus on playing more golf before it gets too cold.

Environmental, Health and Safety Manager

 

Been that in several different industries but always in a factory or over multiple factories/locations.  Depending upon where it could be mostly environmental compliance to air permit, hazardous waste handling/disposal, stormwater or more safety and health oriented; incident investigation and prevention, ergonomics, industrial hygiene, worker's compensation.  That is what I went to school for.

 

Prior to getting EHS gigs I was a manufacturing engineer specializing in waste reduction and automation.  Got to install some robots along the way, build some buildings, buy equipment, etc.  Data analysis and six sigma type things (why I really like Strokes Gained).

 

I have three kids (boy girl twins that are 4 and an 8yo daughter).  They are getting to the age where their activities are eating golf time.  I typically only play golf when there isn't good fishing or hunting seasons in though, so really only a summer venture for me.

 

I like golf architecture more than playing for the most part.  I have resigned myself to the fact I will never be considerably better at playing golf than I am now until I have more free time to play and practice.  So, I had to find ways to get enjoyment from the game in other ways, architecture, playing vintage equipment and dabbling in club-making.

I owned a produce brokerage, focusing on "hardware" ; potatoes, onions, carrots, and cabbage.  Chances are if you live or visited the NYC metro area you've probably eaten produce that I've sold. 

 

Unusual to see another produce broker popping up in this thread.

So you're kind of the NYC Mirepoix king then !  😀
