Architect working as project manager in the office of physical facilities at Purdue University in West Lafayette. We maintain, remodel, add to tear off and build new buildings and related infrastructure.

On one hand I am getting new copper gutters and downspouts put on a 1920's building and on the other getting high tech bio safety fume hoods instlled in a highly secure research building with amazing mechanical infrastructure running all over the place.

One project I am almost finished with involved remodeling some lab space to accomodate two new mass spectrometers (I think that is the right name) both of which would easily fit in my pickup but together cost better part of a half mil.

I sell prearranged funerals, and have the capacity to sell cemetery property and memorialization products, but I tend to stick with the funeral side of things.

Toolmaker/Mechanical Engineer/Tooling Engineer/Project Manager currently heading up a program consisting of this... http://www.defensereview.com/dr-exclusive-surefire-60-shot-and-100-shot-ar-ar-15m16-5-56mm-nato-box-magazines-for-infantry-combat-and-tactical-engagements-meet-the-surefire-mag5-60-and-mag5-100-high-capacity-magazines-hcms/

I came into the project as a replacement for the last PM, with less than 3 months to get the entire program into production. Some of the tooling won't be ready before the start of production date, but I have ways around that, as we also have the prototype tooling.

Or, as my brother, a Die Maker, calls me...an effing toolmaker.

Spent most of my career as a Project Manager, now manage my own consulting firm. We work primarily for municipalities writing and administering Community Development and Main Street revitalization/rehabilitation grants. Should be thinking of retiring but have recently expanded into community planning.
