I spent about 30 years in the construction industry, but in several different kinds of construction...

Rock, sand, and gravel production
Haz-Mat remediation and first responder
Off-shore construction including sewer outfalls

Natural gas and well-site construction

Highways and road construction

I've operated most every kind of heavy equipment available, driven semis, off-road haul trucks, and mechaniced on most of them as well.

Then, in recent years,

H&R Block tax preparer
Bookkeeper in a CPA firm.

In earlier years,

I've also worked on loading docks, as a business agent for my union, and as a dispatcher for a crane rental firm.
