Ride The wave

Hi! My name is Dennis Carpenter.  I have recently retired after over 50 years of working, including 36 years in the construction industry.

During my years in construction, I have worked on a variety of projects, from low-income housing to multi-million-dollar mansions, nuclear power stations to high-rise office towers, even multi-million-dollar yachts. Due to an injury, I needed a new way to make a living. I took my computer hobby and made it into my career. For 10 years I worked professionally as a Computer Network Engineer

I have always found a way to earn a living through economic downturns and injuries. My mantra has always been, “Do what you must do until you can do what you want to do that makes you happy. Inevitably I always returned to my mainstay love for construction.

Although I loved what I had been doing, the wear and tear on my body, living on the road away from home became too much. My body said it was time for me to retire, but my mind is still active, and I was not ready to stop. Now that I can no longer give my best to construction, it is time to again turn a page in my life, and put my computer knowledge back to effective use, keeping my mind active, occupied, and productive. As those wiser than me have often said, “Nature abhors a vacuum. The moment anything ceases to grow, it begins to die.” So, I am choosing to grow in a new direction.
