Houston, Texas Area

Maintain and troubleshoot the steam/chill water plants (two of them) at Rice. I maintain and install meters, PLCs, interact with operators, work with various contractors, and improve on what is already in place. My goal is not to fix what is broken, but to make sure it never breaks in the first place. Preventive maintenance beats putting out fires.

Unloaded the truck each morning from 2 AM to 4 AM. Then I was responsible for distributing the product throughout the shelves in fast enough time before the store opened. My time there was also during the remodeling which created additional challenges. I left when Rice University hired me full time.

I switched to downstream and targeted San Jacinto College due to their excellent instrumentation program and even driving 100 miles round trip to class. The classes had hands on experience with various instruments, smart transmitters, variable speed drives, as well as electrical applications such as panel wiring. The most important aspect of the program.

Seeing how being a traveling salesman was highly deteriorating, I took to trying to sell online. I sold fitness programs which brought in passive cashflow. There were ups and downs, but it stayed consistent until the Great Recession wiped it out.

I had to do technical analysis for callers all over the country, set up appointment times for technicians, interact with technicians, and sell Geek Squad services when I could.After 2008 with the big recession, we were flooded with calls of people wanting free service..

Austin, TX

After college, I felt like I needed to broaden my knowledge in that I needed to learn how to sell. I was a door-to-door salesman who only knocked on business doors in a suit and tie. The headquarters was in Austin but my territory was in San Antonio where I had to drive to and back everyday. All sales were Cold Sales.
