Working as a truck driver. Actually I was about to be a professional model, but I was so handsome, that the photographer got nervous, and there were altercations in the street, because the women went crazy to see my toenails.
When money gets tight, it's time to sell some feet pictures, John.
I have done many things from charter boat capt. in the BVI’s to professional mountain climber. I spent years working for several gov. agencies doing security work. Retired and did private security work and consulting/training. Now I play cowboy/fly fishing guide and a little local security work on call. Getting slower as I age. Sold the ranch and moved to a lake in Alabama to be the local grumpy old man. Now trying my hand a tournament kayak fishing.
Install, maintain, and repair elevators and escalators until December 30, 2027 when I retire.
Did you ever wander down the archipelago a bit and see the little island of Saba? That was home for about 7 years. 5 square miles, 3k foot peak.
I hear there a quite a few Dental Floss Tycoons out there in the 21st century - too bad Frank never got to see the fruits
That is gorgeous! Does it have a natural harbor? I've sailed South of there (Windwards) and North of there (Virgins) but not to this enchanting island.
I built databases. Made enough to buy some acres of Texas Hill Country, a couple of modest houses, a tractor, a pickup, and a car for the wife. Now I pretty much stay on those acres unless forced out by doctor’s appts, absolutely unavoidable social obligations, free concerts, etc.
Used to be a logger, tried raising cattle for a while but that was a disaster. Now I'm a professional leatherworker. Which is why I stick to bulk blends, cobs, and cheap estate pipes. 
So you found a way to get back at them...
I manage and submit filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission for a small mutual fund company. I'm the guy that sends you the regulatory documentation that you throw out immediately after you receive it. I got here through the printing industry by being in the wrong place at the wrong time. 28 years and counting...
I am a talented pipemaker, famous all over the world; my pipes are highly sought after by all the most experienced smokers. Obviously the nickname is purely fictitious, I do not want to be recognized to avoid that everyone writes me privately to get one of my fabulous creations for free or at discounted prices.
If in the technical sections you have read some of my interventions as a newbie that made you think "who is this idiot?", it is all intentional, it is all part of the staging to avoid you finding out who I really am.

A great job of obfuscation! I was totally fooled. You're really Ryan Alden?
The abundance of folks who get the FZ floss Montana reference makes me happy.
My wife and I have worked in the pharma industry for decades. I quasi-retired from Pfizer 10 years ago....not really retired, but my wife travels a lot for work so I deal with the house and 5 kids, which is great because they do most everything and I get to act like I'm teaching them to be independent.

To my wife's dismay, I just spend most of the day having sex. But, I think that she is just jealous. 
I'm a professional mod irritator and have a standing offer at several voice acting studios. I am the primary care giver for my parents and am doing a job I love in the meantime working with young people who have major issues like addiction, anger and abuse.
