We have much in common. I spent seven years in a morgue and many of the folks I worked on were folks whose last words were, "Hey, guys, watch this!" Oh, the stories I could tell.

I'm a photographer. Director of Photography at an engineering company called Hunter Engineering. Most mechanics will recognize that name. I have a fancy title for a one man show and I've been at it for nearly 13 years with Hunter. When I'm not behind the camera at work, I am a Photoshop professional or as I like to confuse people I say I'm an engineer of pixelated images. Before Hunter, I was one of 3 photographers in another commercial studio and when the studio wasn't booked...I ran a custom color print lab. Been in the industry since 1987.

Shift Supervisor in a medium security state prison. Cut my teeth in a max unit for 7 years, then transferred home to be with the extended family. 18 years working with some of the best people in the world dealing with head bangers and window lickers. Weird hours, lots of people to answer to, hoping for boredom, stepping up when it gets exciting. Its the job you love to hate.
