Started off as a part time merchandiser and became full time within three months. Took over my own route after six months. As a merchandiser I took product from truck to shelf, coolers, and displays. Also, keeping back rooms condensed and cleaned. Made my way up to helping out with resets and covering sales routes. Eventually I took the swing sales route position. I now cover routes when people are on vacation or sick by visiting stores and locations to place orders for product.

Started off working as a rig hand. Became the rig operator after three month and had my own crew and pulling unit. We would go out and fix wells that were broke down and get them running. After running the rig I became the HSE (Health Safety and Environmental Manager). I handled any violations or issues we had at the time. I would stay in touch will all DNR inspectors in various counties in Illinois and Indiana. I would conduct any test we needed completed and send the results to the DNR. I was also in charge filling our paperwork for the state and staying ahead of any fines and violations. I would run safety meetings and make sure that everyone knew what work needed done in the surrounding areas.

Repaired down hole pumps and chemical boxes. I would install new parts needing to be replaced to get pump back in working order. On the sales and rental side, I ordered and bought what parts we needed to fix their wells and the parts we needed to have for repairs and inventory. Rentals would entail all heavy equipment needed for any type of oil filled job. I kept a rental log on what companies rented the equipment and the exact oil field lease or job it was going to so that proper investors could be billed. As well as a signature of the person responsible for the rental. I ran the store by myself on Saturdays and did inventory counts for future orders and end of the quarter counts.

I received mail at the post office and sorted by route. I would take the new mail and put them in the correct order by house number and set the mail in correct sequence based on the delivery order. I would mark houses with packages in the mail to ensure delivery. Than have all packages arranged in the correct order of delivery to make sure one was not missed. I'd interact with customers and pick up any outgoing mail or packages. When returning to the post office I would sort any outgoing and in town mail, letters, packages and get them to the proper locations.

I checked all wells daily to make sure there were not any problems. If a problem would occur I'd fix the problem by myself or call in a crew with the rig for a larger problem. I would gauge all tanks to see how much oil production was made. Keeping a log book of production to make sure the wells are producing without any problems. I kept a working relationship with all inspectors or tank truck drivers and cleaned up any minor spills or violations. Minor repairs would involve changing the oil in the motor, replacing flow lines, changing packing and insulating all lines above ground in the air for winter.

Started off by signaling in planes on the runway at Honolulu airport. I eventually became air ramp group leader in charge of loading planes for parcel delivery to Singapore, Taiwan, and mainland USA. I had a team of 10 people that made sure large cans loaded with mail we're ready and sorted for each flight. Cans had to be weighed and loaded on the plane in exact spots for even distribution for the plane to fly properly. After the plane was loaded the manifest had to be loaded into the FAA database. I obtained a US customs seal to handle high value products or high urgency packages that can only be loaded into the tail of the plane.
