That’s very cool. Any particular brand your fave? Otis, Schindler, Dover, Krupp’s...?
Dover/Thyssen as both are the same. Thyssen purchased Dover about 15 years ago. That’s who I have worked with my whole career.

I work for a coffee/beverage company called Trilliant Food and Nutrition as a customer project manager. We roast,grind and package bag and K cup coffee. We blend and agglomerate powder beverages like hot chocolates, cappuccinos, flavored drink mixes which we put into K cups and sticks. We have our own brands which is Victor Allen but we co-pack for a lot of customers most of you may have at home.

Gave up flying in the corporate world, now with an airline. Don't think I could handle an office job and this allows me plenty of time off to enjoy the lake. 8-)

I work for Dell EMC as a Technical Account Manager. I am dedicated to all of NASA. I say that I have the biggest territory since I cover space too!

My hobbies are boating and golf (little better than scratch).

We just bought our first cobalt yesterday.... a CS22. Should take delivery next week. This is actually our 7th boat...we’ve previously owned ski and wakeboard boats, but my wife picked this!!

I'm retired now but for most of my career I managed businesses. I was also a Sales Manager a time or two. For the last nine years I worked for what is referred to as a central non-profit. The company is based just outside of Washington DC and we found jobs for the disabled in the Federal government. We procured the government contract and then through a bid process, turned it over to local non-profits that employed the disabled.

I was a Senior Program Manager and my business line was Document Destruction/Paper Shredding. My biggest success was procuring a contract with the IRS to shred 650 IRS offices around the US. I started up 62 local non-profits in the shredding business and collectively employed over 2500 people with disabilities. This included many Wounded Warriors.

It was an amazing 9 years and it felt great helping people find employment. When I retired in 2014 the company had found jobs for over 50,000 people with disabilities.
