Rob
Sales manager for large construction company in NE michigan. Raising 3 children on my own and coaching swimming and football. One of the best times of my life.
Working as an LPN on the Trauma Unit, MetroHealth Medical Center in Cleveland, Oh, and coming to terms with the fact that nursing just wasn't what I wanted to do with the rest of my life.
Also recovering from the infection and removal of my right kidney.
By the end of the year, I knew that some form of driving was what I wanted to do, though I hadn't thought of getting a CDL A just yet - it took a couple years of local driving gigs to persuade me that driving a truck was where my heart was.
I haven't changed my mind yet. (Like SusieQ, don't miss the t/t, though).
owned and operated a small construction business installing siding,windows,doors,gutters. Racing Motocross every weekend with my son and friends, and best of all anticipating the birth of my 2 nd child in 2000, all a very good time in my life
