          Among his many careers were septic tank service, construction and heavy equipment, assistant manager at Kmart, asphalt and paving, long haul truck driver, tire repair shop, tying steel, some law enforcement, and maintenance supervisor. “I’m a jack of all trades and master of none,” he would say. The infamous career was being a stay-at-home dad.
