ABOUT ME
I retired from the department of corrections as a Correction Officer I in July 2020 and dabbled into my creative side by researching and developing and then constructing a light up Corn-hole beanbag design with an inner bladder to hold the lights and batteries. I also created other patterns for a mature crowd to enjoy a more fun experience playing Corn-hole. I also started a 100% organic salad dressing business for a short time. My most brilliant achievement in my life has been solving the greatest superhero treasure hunt of all time, The Thrill Of The Chase treasure hunt created by Mr Forrest Fenn. A remarkable story of a three book series of hidden superhero clues embedded within the real life stories about Forrest's real life hero's. A tremendous heroic achievement in treasure hunt history.
At this point in time I am interested in working part time, and I will consider a full time position if the right position becomes available.
