    I wasn't trying to win... :)

    I try to stay out of all those shenanigans. It's a great job I'd like to keep.

    damn lucky! id love to do what you do, ive been on the security side of things for 4 years now. Worked most of the venues in san diego which is always fun. When shows come in town our management crew and I get together with the tours security and do our walk throughs/pyro times/encore times/and anything else thats planned for the show and such. Also done the last four yrs of coachella, stagecoach and Phish festival as barricade/backstage supervisor with a few higher up people overseeing the complete area.

    I am a retail manager for a local Dive, kayak, and SUP store. We also run KayakFishingsupplies.com and a few other online stores.

    In the Summer I also work on sportfishing boats (what i did before my 6 years at store). Also do misc guide trips and that kinda thing (fishing,kayak fishing, classes, hunting trips, etc)

    I also am the SoCal Chapter coordinator for a Non Profit organization (Heroes on the Water) which helps injured vets and LEO's with the healing process through kayak fishing and the outdoors. While not a paid position it consumes almost as much time as my regular job.

    no im not LT, but i did just flip through this thread and have two things to say before i see my way to the door. first, that's an awesome thing you do man. i had never heard of it till now (i went to the site) and see it's pretty big in NC. maybe i'll be able to do something with it one day. sounds like a great program. mad props to you.

    and second, that picture is super badass to me for some reason. :thumbsup:

    this is the reason my rear LT is sitting in the garage waiting for funds to develop. slow going
    Having a 1 year old son and daughter on the way doesn't help the funds increase either.
