The Missing Years: The years between 1997 and 2012 were spent learning to be a well-rounded electrician and working in the oil and gas industry, mainly in Wyoming, North Dakota, 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.
