My paying job is at a car dealer. I'm the parts manager. My main job is being a dad. Just me and my daughter, and I wouldn't trade it for ANYTHING!! My non paying job is a volunteer firefighter. I just recently moved and got out of that. I was the Assistant Chief at one station and just a black helmet firefighter at another. I still have the itch and will get back into it when I get everything settled in the new place.
