What do/did you do for a living?

alright back on the computer so time to contribute.
not that exciting compare to most of you guys. i am a tailor by trade. i have my own menswear label that i wholesale as well as retail out my own store. The label is mainly high end suit shirt and tie.
these days i don't actually get to do a lot of the sewing anymore but i am planning to change that with the opening of another store dedicated to made to measure and the highest quality menswear which of course will stock IH as well
what i did. Before owing my own business i went though half a dozen other jobs in the jag trade. But the most memorable will be the ones i did while going though college including teaching screen printing in our highest security prison and gate control in Rugby test matches…..

Sell denim.
I spent over 20 years in the IT industry doing all sorts of stuff. For 10 of those years I was based in the forrmer USSR. I had a drinking competition in Moscow with a KGB Colonel (I lost), I took the Czech Government to court for breach of contract (I lost).
A few years ago circumstances forced me reapraise what I did for a living. I decided to make what I do now a success. Mme B, bless her soul, was the main bread winner for a few years and financially supported me to get to where we are now. The business is going well enough now, for her to pull out of her other stuff and help me (well she does love packin n stackin).
I do a few othere odds n sods, I consult for the local brewery and I also make Titanium fishing reels (through my old contacts in The Ukraine).
But Iron Heart is what I love, thanks for helping us get to where we are…...................

An interesting career path to say the least G! I've done a fair few jobs(though not quite as glamorous): Printer (NME and other such exciting tutt..) Stock controller at Tescos, Surveyors assistant (chainey) working all over London (Bank of England, Imperial college), fannied around at uni for 3 years in Brighton and then ended up here in France. Am now an Educateur specialisé…otherwise known as a Social Worker working with Handicapped adults.

@Geo:
I only had one in mind . . .
That's a tough job tho' bertoni
I wonder who you're referring to there Geo? Mmmm?
Yeah it's hard sometimes but at the risk of sounding cheesy, I feel i'm doing something worthwhile…have done a stint in a children's home recently and LOVED it...real hard luck stories but some amazingly resilient kids out there. My next "career" move for sure. -
first stop after school, was becoming a telecommunication technician, after this went to serve my country by planing and writting the service and education plans for a aerial drone company. Next stop was working for a Swedish company that build professional cooking ovens in quality control / production planing and various other fields. Next was a year doing nothing at all, beside having fun…. Followed by a few months working for record company, doing promotion planing and some other things. After this worked year or so for a community owned firm, training jobless people to get back into work life.... Beside all these things I was always a part-time record dealer and around 10 years ago went to go fulltime doing this.....

I always wanted to ask the question but never did cause I figured it to be too indiscrete… But I'm glad Paula is now working for the IH biz...
What a sweetheart. I've been running my own business as freelance conference and events organizer for past 13 years, and haven't quite stopped yet - still doing a few projects for my biggest client, a large IT organization whose name rhymes with "Hell"! Over the years, they and other clients have given me the opportunity to run projects pretty much all over the world, and it's been hard work and a lot of fun, although now quite ready to do less and pack and stack Iron Heart instead!
Before 1998, a pretty chequered career, including working as PA for political lobbyist and a stint looking after a Formula 3 racing team, before working in marketing in IT - lots of good times and travel, but nothing as great as what G and I are doing together now.
