I'm a tile contractor. Work with designers and home owners to make their dreams come true. Almost exclusivley high end custom homes. It's a challenge for sure to make a shower surround or nice kitchen actually work within the parameters of the dimensions available. Frustrating, challenging, I tend to hate it, but it's the groove my life is in. And it's the only thing I can do VERY well to make good money. Ive' done work for Robert Redford, Donny Osmond, Marie Osmond, Mike Wier (masters champ) Steve Young and many more local well to do's...

Master bath project, tough bending the tiles to tub contours, lots of cutting

Much better, more pay and alot less frustration.
lol!! My first job was working for about a year as a bag boy at a grociery store I could walk to (as I got the job before my driver's license, back in about '96-'97 time frame). After almost a year I asked to do something different (I wanted to join the stock crew because they always looked like they had the best time in the store). Instead I became a cashier for about 5-6 months (last few months of my time there I worked part time at the grocery store whatever hours I wanted they gave me because I was reliable PLUS I began working part time at my first I.T. job for STERIS Corporation).

I.T. has REALLY evolved BIG time since I started (most places did not have an "Information Security" department back then for one example).

Right now I'm a student at Iowa State University pursuing a degree in Mechanical Engineering. Just completed my first year. Didn't do as well as I thought I should so I will be retaking a few classes this summer and fall. Could possibly set me back a little but I should have no problem meeting my expected graduation date by taking a few summer classes each year.

For a job I work at a grille/cafe on campus which is known as "The Hub". Justin (the other Justin which is also an ISU Student, Engineering major as well LOL) may be familiar with my place of work
