Concession stand worker at the Moonlight Drive In Theater in Santa Clara 1965 while in high school. Lasted one night. Theater no longer exists.

Perkins House of Pancakes in Palo Alto as dish washer 1966 and in high school.. Lasted two weeks, Perkins no longer exists there.

Print shop as machine operator. Worked a year 1967.

Drafted 1968 spending 20 months in the US Army.

Back to the print shop 1969 after the army, quit after one year to be a bartender.

Bartender for one year where I learned to fly. Got my private pilots license. Bar tender and never drank.

Big truck company as a salesman. Worst job ever. I would rather eat a bullet than work for a large corporation. Lasted three months.

Drove a bus for a six months as I attended flight school. Got my commercial pilots license, SMEL, instrument rating, multi-engine rating, CFI&AI. Quit driving the bus for a job in an aluminum smelting factor because I needed more money. Money was great but the job sucked.

Flight instructor for a FAA Part 139 flight school and Part 135 commuter. Wanted to go airlines but it was the early 1970's and pilots were a dime a dozen. Pay sucked, all my friends were earning at least twice what I was, but it was the greatest job I ever had. Have landed in every state but Hawaii and Vermont. Flew over Vermont just never landed there. Ferried airplanes to points all over north America, Canada, Mexico, Central America and the Bahamas. What I didn't get in money I got in memories.

Quit flying full time because I got married and needed to earn more money. Worked evenings and weekends as a flight instructor while learning how to design fire sprinkler systems.

Quit flying in the early 1980's because I went out on my own starting a business doing the fire sprinkler thing.

Life was set, flying became a hobby and since the early 1980's I spent 20 years operating my own company and 13 years split working for four different companies. Two large companies (I hate large companies because I do not play well with others) and two small ones. Getting ready for retirement, which can happen at any time now, and have worked for the same company nearly eight years now. Pretty happy where I am and happy not to have the responsibility and stress of ownership anymore.

Now I am 66 and hope to work for another year and a half, waiting for wife to turn 66, but time will tell.

But the best job was the flying. What I enjoyed the most was teaching primary students to fly, always got a thrill signing them off for their first solo around the patch three times. Ferry pilot was nice but never anyone to talk to. Air taxi/charter sucked, always hurry up and wait at some airport in the middle of nowhere.

Three most memorable flights were battling a snow storm getting into Fargo, ND, flying west bound 5,000 feet above the rim of the Grand Canyon with the sun rise to my back and then there was the flight delivering a dead body for a funeral in the mountains of West Virginia. Had permission to land at a coal mine sod strip but it was in terrible shape washed out in the middle. I headed to an alternate making the guy two hours late for his own funeral and people were really ticked.
