YAHOO !!

Safari 12 got his title all wrong.

He's actually a genie (the head genie) in charge of fullfiliing the dreams we all have of Africa.

I spent about 4-1/2 years in the Army-Infantry. After working a few small jobs I spent 13 years working for Koch Industries Refinery at home in Corpus. I currently work for UOP as a Chief Technical Advisor dealing with petroleum and petrochemical processes. My current job affords plenty of opportunities for travel but none of panned out for hunting. Like eveyone else I'm looking for the job that will pay the bills, feed the three kids, pay for hunting and allow me time to hunt.

25 plus years of law enforcement, now serving as a Captain/Chief Pilot for our Dept of Natural Resources (Conservation Officer) aviation program flying helicopters and bush planes, chasing bad guys and counting critters.

Really it's too much fun to get paid for and it supports my hunting habits!

Wow! What a diversiefi . devirsefie . . diverseifie . . . varied group!!!

I was in law enforcement for 21 years and retired as the lieutenat in homicide/robbery of a department with about 135 officers. I also owned a taxidermy shop part time until retirement and then went full time with it for 4 years - sold it and went back into law enforcement with a different department.

Right now I'm a school resource officer in a high school of 2300 kids. By far, it's the BEST job I've ever had!! I absolutely love it!

Between the 4 years from retirement to going back in, I divorced one and married another. The latest is a very successful sugar mama . . . er . . . real estate agent. thumb

And so if you meet a hunter who has been to Africa, and he tells you what he has seen and done, watch his eyes as he talks. For they will not see you. They will see sunrises and sunsets such as you cannot imagine, and a land and a way of life that is fast vanishing. And always he will will tell you how he plans to go back. (author: David Petzer)

I'm an investigator for a professional regulatory agency. I like it, but really, I work to live, not live to work.

And, last year I bought my first rental property - a duplex. Live in one and rent the other. Two weeks ago, my fiance and I bought a house for us, and we're keeping her's for a rental as well. So, I guess I'm a real estate tycoon, too!! Wink Hopefully, we'll acquire a few more properties and in ten years, I can retire to manage the properties full time.

The guys that break windows and drive into your nieghborhood store keep us in business.
