In my third retirement... retired after 20 years in operations at a power plant, then did 20 years as a trauma system coordinator at a level 1 trauma hospital while also working as a firefighter at a Metro Fire Department, where I retired after 23 years.

I have a small wood working business making plaques and signs to keep busy. Like most on this site I like to tinker with machines. I have a 4x4 CNC machine (an older Chinese machine that my brother and I rebuilt from the ground up), a Tormach 1100 CNC mil, an old Bridgeport milling machine, a 3D printer, and, of course, a laser cutter.

My Laser cutter is a 100 watt red & black Chinese machine with a Ruida Controller , I've added extra work LEDs, a ammeter, and a bed camera.
