Worked as a machinist apprentice (until the late-'70s recession), and have spent the last 24 years reading blue-prints, or making my own (old-school-style, on a drafting-table), and making models of proto-type glass-ware (bottles, ash-trays, casserole dishes, etc.) for various glass-houses/mould shops:
for the last 7+ years, I've taken blue-prints, and hand-made (saw & file) templates and gages for quality-control use in the same industry, hence "Glensgages".....
Also, help a few local bracket-racers design and fabricate small pieces, brackets, and sheet-metal for their race cars.
Got no diplomas, but I learned it from my dad, who's been doing the same since 1950.....

I was going to be a Chemical Engineer - Rice University.
Then I decided to get a real job. Financial. So, BA, Economics and Business Administration, Rice University and BS, Accounting, Rice University.
So, that makes me a Financial Engineer.
