What do/did you do for a living?

I trained as a singer and conductor of choirs and orchestras, and have spent about 2/3 of my career so far in church ministry and about 1/3 of my career in higher education as a music professor. Not being in a lucrative field has taught me the fun and adventure of improving my system as inexpensively as possible. The majority of my gear was purchased used (sometimes as much as 20 years old when I bought it), but it sounds wonderful to my ears. 

i worked 40 1/2 years for the USAs 1st Railroad. i was in charge of inspection & maintenance of 300 miles of track. 

I’m a Master Sommelier who’s worked in restaurants and wineries since I was 14. I’m blessed to be one of the lucky few to be opening my own place next week instead of closing them. Due to COVID there will be no “things going back to normal” for the hospitality industry.
