I am a Natural Gas Regulator Technician for the City of Hamilton Gas Department. I maintain about 70 regulators that control the gas pressure in the mains (ranging from 11" H20 - 600+ psig!!!

) throughout the city. I love it! It can be dangerous but you have to respect the Gas and it is ok.

I started in new construction. Did framing, siding and interior trim for 10 years. Got bored with that. I was always good at fixing things, so I tried apartment maintenance. Been at DT Properties for almost 18 years now. I can fix about anything relating to buildings, cars and computers. Do a lot of remodels and rehabs. Working on auto's, wheeling, and computers are my hobbies. I would rather learn how to do something than pay someone else to do it.

Currently working as a mechanical/process engineer for a smaller family owned company (Atkins and Pearce). We make braided textiles - think candle wick, braided fishing line, and numerous other niche products. I'm in the product development area, making prototypes and modifying/making machines for new products. But currently looking for something else.
