Life Before Water Slingin

Forgot:

Married my highschool sweetie in 1995, we were both 18, and we are getting ready to celebrate our 25th anniversary in March. Have 1 boy, a senior, and he is going to University Nebraska at Omaha for their Aviation program. He has wanted to be a commercial pilot since he was 5 or 6 when he dicked around on Microsoft Flight Sim

I guess it is time to introduce myself. I graduated from high school in 1979 (don’t judge, I’m old). I went to college and grad school for criminal justice and recently retired after 33 years in law enforcement. I have been doing washing on the side since 2016 and will be looking to go full time in the spring (I live in Wisconsin). This forum and those that participate have been an amazing source of knowledge and humor. Every year my business has grown as a direct result of the suggestions and recommendations of all of you. I have been more of a “reader” on here and less of a “poster”, as I don’t feel my limited experience qualifies me to give advice.

It’s not always the experience that teaches people, sometimes it sharing mishaps and problems that we all collectively learn from :+1:

Worked six years for Conoco (logistics) and Abbott Labs (sales) before starting my own dry cleaning business, which I owned for 15 years, growing form a single store and one employee to 8 locations and 65 employees before selling. Started a couple of other businesses, then was hired by Procter & Gamble to help with their Tide Dry Cleaners franchises. Somehow I became their Director of IT, which led to a Chief Technology Officer role for a local HVAC company, then COO of a meat distributor and finally, head of IT for a sizeable food ingredients company. I hated it. so now I have a startup residential power washing business and am happily worn out at the end of every day.
