I moved to Arkansas in 1990 and was working as a Utility forester. Changed jobs in 1993 and worked for a major furniture manufacturer until 2003. Now I peddle black lettered donuts in eastern Oklahoma and western Arkansas.

My CPA/Tax question on here had me think of another question today…

What does everyone on the outdoors board do for a living? I've known CS78 for close to 20 years on another board and him and I pretty much know everyone on there cause it's such a small group. I know what some of you do but definitely a lot larger group.

I'll start it off, I'm a plumber by trade. Got into it right out of high school and after deciding if I wanted to do that or follow in my Dads footsteps of being a mechanic I stuck with plumbing. I now hold a Texas Masters license. I'm currently a project manager/estimator/sales for a Mechanical Contractor.

My Dad always told me to go to school and get a degree that means something or learn a trade. I went the tradesman route and it has definitely paid off and only continues to get better.

Why am I on an Aggie board? Well my Grandpa and Great Uncle were both Aggies, my Grandad was class of 56 and not sure about my Great Uncle. My Grandad passed when I was around 1 so I never got to know him. But damn in the few times he got to hold me he must've whispered in my ear about being an Aggie cause I'm as diehard a fan as I can imagine.

So what's everyone else do? How did you get there?
I'm a retired geologist living on an East Texas lake. And I'm on the board because I sent my two kids to A&M.
I fish a bit most every evening. Decided to string up with braid yesterday. My best this year is 8-14. But I know I've had almost a dozen pull off, shake off of flat out break the line this year. I'm going out again this evening.
I'm jealous. I use 65lb braid a lot on Toledo and Rayburn and there's few things better than setting the hook with braid up in the trees/grass.

Likely doesn't know what that means.
I know a lot about a little, and a little about a lot.

Picked a degree that would allow me to work outside and not be cooped up in an office.
Don't use that degree anymore so I work mostly inside in an office.

Very interesting. I worked for MGM Resorts for around 5 years in my former life. My office was right above the casino floor at Mandalay Bay. The Casino world is interesting for sure.
