The Missing Years: The years between 1997 and 2004 were spent working for electrical contractors, learning the electrical trade, in Wyoming and Colorado. Prior to 1997, I spent time working as a pastry cook in Santa Fe, New Mexico and at resorts in Vail and Aspen, Colorado. There were periods of interesting travel too.
