Started welding in the shops in detroit when I was 14,it was illegal but the best experience I ever got, did 4 years in the US Air Force got out started a welding business that grew into a wood shop, welding shop and remodeling retail stores, hundreds of them. That blew apart 12 years later and back to welding again and managing repo'd homes now too. Needless to say there is no lack of business right now. Still want to go into manufacturing.

One thing I have learned it's not about how much you have, it's all about finding the balance of whats really important. I gave up many good years chasing the all mighty dollar, hours, relationships ect. On the flip side though I have helped many ,many people out by having that vehicle to steer thru my life and to recieve a smile of thank you was always a pretty awsum feeling.
