    What's your occupation?

    Used to work in insurance (political fundraising before that) now I work in B2B marketing as a salesman. In my free time if I'm not working I'm cooking, smoking or grilling you can find me deer or hog hunting or at a Texas Rangers game (between April and October that is!)
