Cigarette Butt Picker Upper
1984 - 1994
I performed numerous manual labor and other jobs throughout high school/college/grad school, including ranch hand, janitor, fast food guy, campaign manager and Congressional intern, amongst others. I've delivered calves in sub zero winter temperatures during the middle of the night, cleaned high-volume toilets, picked up thousands of cigarette butts, and fed many people. Each experience has been a phenomenal opportunity to iteratively learn, grow and earn appreciation for all humans.
