I have had different careers. Anything from driving a truck to writing law to teaching at the University. What can I say, I get bored quickly. Currently, I am a writer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI had a career managing in the Transportation industry. I finally got tired of being shot at, so I went to work for the State of MD and the feds.
