I was an aerial lineman for about fifteen years; and after putting up cable, learning to splice cable, and becoming a lead technician, I quit climbing poles and became a supervisor. I recently went on long-term disability with Coca-Cola Enterprises. I have worked for Coke as a fountain technician, and I have been in Special Events for the last five years. I have battled problems with my weight most of my life, which is what inspired me to write this book!
