Whats your other job?

Recommended Posts

There's a serious amount of diversity among people's day jobs. I think its great that fly fishing and tying can bring so many different talents and backgrounds together.

 

I worked as an analyst for a southern investment banking firm, now I'm working on my MBA with a concentration in finance and spending as much of my free time with my 13 month old son.

For 25 or so years I've been working for DLA at the supply center in Philadelphia. For the last 10 years I've been an Account Manager, though my official title is Tailored Vendor Business Logistics Specialist. I work with my customers and vendor to make sure the military get food when they want it and where they want it. My first account was to support the troops in Guam. I did that for five years. Made several trips there and was able to sneak in some fly fishing after work on a few occasions. Last five years I've handled mainland Japan, Singapore and Diego Garcia. Again I've had the chance to travel to Japan and make one trip to Singapore. I'm looking to retire in about 5 years. I've occasionally tied flies for my local fly shop located outside of Philly in Media.

Firefighter/Paramedic...Never sold a fly, but got plenty of friends that willingly take them as experiments to exotic locales that I will never be able to swing, which is why I am considering winning the lottery...

I am a full time Flyfishing Instructor, Author, and Speaker. I was a ticketed millwright/Welder for 15 years, but got hurt 6 years back and started my own company teaching people how to flyfish. I have since written 2 books on flyfishing (The third is on the way) many articles for flyfishing magazines, and have been speaking and doing seminars at local flyfishing trade shows and other events.

 

Holy Crap, do I EVER LOVE MY JOB!!!!!!!
