I specialize in high-speed aluminum tubing directional management and cleaning.

Though, when someone asks at a bar I usually tell them either I am in Deep Sea Salvage and recovery or manage a professional wiffle ball team, geographically dependent. Though I have been so drunk I tried to pull off deep sea salvage and recover in a bar in Kansas one night....

You had me laughing when I read this. My husband has lived in the area of International Falls, MN almost all of his life (Canadian side across the river) ... so your story could still work! He started off diving in the Great Lakes working on natural gas wellheads (when I met him) but spent a couple of years Saturation Tech/Diver/Medic off Newfoundland (Grand Banks, North Dana). Deepest dive in the early 80s - shelved at 735' with a bell bounce to 750'. Worked on the sister ship to the Oceanranger that sank, was on-shore waiting to crew out to the Sedco 706 at the time and later helped with salvage and scuttle. Inland diving the technical term would be "mud diver". Switched to firefighting in 86 with a sideline of mud diving - hydro dams, bridges, water intakes, piers, etc.

I have a swimming pool service company. Been in business since 1992

Former Flight Instructor, pilot for the long defunct Precision Ailines serving Vermont, NewHampshire and Boston.
