Multiple Companies

• Various

  • Jan 1990 - Jan 2011

  One might say my work history has made me "well-rounded". There are certainly a lot of stories to tell. :) Some of the jobs were rewarding, fun and exciting, while others were, ummm... not so glamorous. Here are some of the more memorable ones: - Crew Member, Wisconsin Conservation Corps (a tree twisted on a knot, fell and smashed my chainsaw) - Wireless / Cell Phone Sales, Walmart (someone left a booger on the Tracfone renewal card) - Assistant Disc Jockey, Tone Deaf DJ (parTEE at the weddings!) - Driver / general laborer, crackfilling crew, Fahrner Asphalt (grilling ears of corn in the tar kettle) - General labor, Canning department, Del Monte (fungus in the green beans?!?) - Cashier, Lawn and Garden Department, Shopko (lessons on theft and loss tolerance) - Customer service rep, Figi's Inc. (this is what it means to sit in a cubicle) - Call out survey taker, WGLX radio station, Wisconsin Rapids (Classic Rock wins the day!) - Cashier, Burger King (the drive-thru speed challenge)



Domtar

• United States
• Paper and Forest Product Manufacturing
• 700 & Above Employee

• Millworker

  • 1996 - 2002

  Worked at Domtar's Port Edwards and Nekoosa plants in Finishing, Paper Machines, Roll Wrap, Beaters, Wood Room, and Shipping. Survived extreme working conditions: deafening noise levels, heat, humidity, chemicals, dust, moving equipment, dangerous machinery (think sheeter slitters and pinch points), rotating work schedules, forced double shifts and sleep deprivation. Positions and duties: clamp truck driver, fork lift driver, carton assembly, paper trimmer, skid wrapper, cut size sheeter operator, sealing machine operator, cartizer operator and more. Started in "Utility"​ (lowest) bracket and was trained to work in "A" (highest) bracket in less than five years. Made lifelong friends and some decent money, dreamed of something better, and left after six years to start my own business.
