I was a cook before becoming an operator. It was quite the career change. What did everyone do before pumping?

In college to become an accountant, quit school with only 2 quarters left for a BS in BA degree, bought a line pump with a buddy and moved to Florida after a hurricane 14 years ago.  Everyone thought I was crazy, and they're right, but I have no regrets.

Coming out of high school my bestfreind's dad owned some pumps and I started hanging out with those guys alot. Before long I was running a pump. Have been doing it on and off since 1989. I also did asome time in the Marines. Their seems to be alot of guys in pumping that once served. Awesome!
