Okay...I am not much of a sharer on Social Media, but with all of you guys sharing, I'll bite...

I am a Project Engineer with Kenworth Truck Company.  Can't believe I have been with them for 18 years now, directly out of college.

I have spent most of my career in New Product Development and in the Outer Body group, so I have been responsible for Hoods and Headlamps as well as several projects in the Cab Structures group.  I have had the privilege of developing the Kenworth T660, North America's first HID headlamp in a Class-8 truck, T700, T680 Aero Advantage, 76" Mid-roof Sleeper and 40" Sleeper.

Awesome;  i have a boatload of questions i would like to quiz you on if you don't mind.

Some really cool jobs out there.  Frotosride and i have the same boss....ultimately.  I am a federal officer for the US Govt. . I'm kind of like a game warden, except agriculture only. Plant and animal products. Going on 18 yrs. But if i could start over, id like to own a shop that does high end classic car restorations, or a history professor, or a master carpenter.  Maybe when i grow up i'll try something else.

I'm a cop.  Starting my 7th year pretty soon.  It's truly a crazy job.

Before  that, for 12 years I trained people how to operate industrial water treatment equipment.  This would be equipment used to purify water for pharmaceutical manufacturing, semiconductor rinse water, steam for power generation etc.  I really miss my old job, just not all the travel.  Hotels and airports get old, quick.

I passed up an offer in that area as an enforcement officer with the National Marine Fisheries Service. Big move from MA.

Stay safe. Both of my parents were peace officers and I'm currently trying to get hired at a local department. Thin Blue Line.

Definitely a big move but would have been cool job.
