Out of High School I apprenticed as a "Hot" Type Print Setter. The year I finished my apprenticeship Hot Type was replaced by what is called “cold type” or the use of cut and paste in computers. I started an apprenticeship as a tool and die maker, switched to CNC operations and programming then moved into management. I did purchasing then returned to CNC. I am now semi-retired. (working managing a store) and making wood type crafts and selling them at Fairs and other gatherings. And Having Fun doing It.
