20+ year career in the petrochemical industry. Started off in nondestructive testing and worked my way up to API certified inspector for Dow chemical. I spent a large part of my career in a refining facility, so I've had experience in those, too. We saw a lot more fires and near misses in the refining side. The chem side has its dangers, but I don't miss the fires.
I was an industrial radiographer by trade.... AKA "X-Ray hand"

Former professional chef, still doing part time catering. Currently working in construction for a major chemical facility contractor. Eventually I'll end up finishing my Physics degree but with a baby on the way I need to do more for her. And hopefully I'll get to start a Pepper Company. Eventually. Would love for it to be a family business.

!Congrats on the kiddo! Boy or girl?
What kind of chef were you? Any specialties? Were you professionally trained? I, too, am a chef!
Like you, I'd love to open up a family business someday. Maybe a restaurant or sauce/salsa company. Grow my own produce to use at one or the other. Involve my family and daughter when she is old enough. That would be the life, wouldn't it?
Hi TrueNorthReptiles and thank you for the welcome! I worked as the head chef for a from scratch taqueria, saucier for a multimillion dollar restaurant and as a caterer for small dinner parties. Specializing in whatever I feel like learning at the time but my passion is BBQ, Latin cuisines, Southern (deep and west. Haha) and Cajun/Creole. I learned through the school of hard knocks and self taught hard earned lessons. And a daughter. I'm super excited for her arrival and so is Mommy dearest. And yes. But dreams are just goals that haven't been attempted. Haha. But we can do our best to make it happen for our kids. What about you? Any big specialties?TrueNorthReptiles said:First off...
