I have worked for Environmental Technologies (which was purchased by Johnson Controls in 2006) since July 1992 with the exception of June 2002-November 2004. During those years, I was in St George, Utah where I had my heart attack and all that goes with it. After the doctor let me return to work, I worked as a sales associate for Sears Roebuck in major appliances and did very well. Concurrently with that, I was a 9-1-1 dispatcher for the City of St George; another interesting job.
At Environmental Technologies from 1992 to 2002, I started as a CNC programmer for Strippit equipment, moved quickly to add Supervisor of Manufacturing Engineering, and then in 1994 became the Maintenance and Facilities Manager, "retiring" in 2002 to move to Utah. It was that thing of realizing that my wife had followed me all over the US while I was on active duty and then it was her turn to say where we lived (near her family).
In 2004, we returned to Florida and I was promptly rehired at Enviro-Tec as 2nd Shift Production Supervisor for a year and a half and then returned to manufacturing engineering.
From my retirement in September 1990 until February 1992, I was employed by Halliburton NUS as manager of their predictive maintenance field service operations. Great Job!
