I work at Guthrie Greenhouses LLC up here in Guthrie. The business is owned by my wife and her father. Here is a link to our website. Guthrie Greenhouses The site kinda sucks. I am going to get that fixed up soon I hope. We have 8 1/2 acres under cover. We sell to Oklahoma and the surrounding states of Texas, Arkansas, Kansas, & Louisiana. We focus primarlily on independent garden centers. Our largest customers are Atwoods who has 50 stores we serivce, Westlake Ace Hardware, Under the Sun Garden Centers, TLC, Southwood, Sanders Nursery, John Deer Landscape, Total Environment, and many more. Our biggest competitor is from Michigan if you can believe that. I am in charge of purchasing, scheduling, and security ;) . So if you are looking to pretty up the yard with some color look for our Red Dirt Plants please.

Here is teh label you will see on our pots in stores.


Here is one of our delivery trucks you can follow to the store.


Here is an older overhead shot of our South Range.


Here is an older overhead shot of our North Range. You can't quite see my shooting area but its just above those two green water tanks on the top left.

I buy our plants and flowers at Under the Sun at 33rd and Broadway. I'll keep a look out for your tag here soon when it's time for spring planting.

Oh, but I'm a systems admin at Tinker. I'm over 10 high-volume engine records scanners. They're these huge, but still desktop, expensive ($20,000+ each) scanners capable of scanning over 200 pages a minute. They're used to scan and index all engine maintenance, repairs, etc sheets on a SQL server that I also have a hand in.

When I first set everything up I was constantly busy, but now that I've gotten all the wrinkles ironed out I basically sit here all day every day waiting on something to fail so I can earn my pay.
 
I fix guns for a living, what more could you want?
Oh and doing R&D for supressors.
 
Fixed income... Injured in Iraq & given early retirement...

I have come a long way in my recovery (read: REALLY long way) and am working on getting on with local Police Departments...
 
My great uncle started a pipeline construction company in 1968. His 3 sons own it now. Pretty much everyone in my extended and immediate family works or has worked here one time or another. We build natural gas and oil pipelines from 100' to over 100 miles with 4" to 24" steel pipe in Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas, Arkansas and Missouri. I operate excavators and dozers
Here's my office

Aircraft mechanic for the past 10 years. I worked in my dads salvage yard before that, I still go back to the salvage to shoot because it is a very cool interactive type of range that no one else can offer.
 
I work for the cable company I do service calls and installs in the claremore, owasso, catoosa area
 
IT related - currently specialize in direct attached and iscsi storage, clusters, and virtualization at Dell

previously in the army apparently I was communications? I thought I was whatever they told me to do at the time

I've also done construction (new and remodels) with my step dad. I have worked in and on homes of all ages and price ranges primarily upscale editions

I also worked maintenance and lawn care for an edition in Edmond for a while

I have dabbled in car stereos, home audio and video and some other industries as well.

IT seems to be what I fall back on - just glad it isn't tied into the real estate side anymore (no offense to any loan officers, real estate agents/realtors, mortgage brokers, appraisers, or inspectors or the like)
 
Maintenance supervisor for the nicest manufactured housing community in Oklahoma. Fancy words for "Trailer park", but we are far from what you imagine when you hear that phrase.
 
I weld for a living, I own a full operating shop where I can fix anything you need me to, I also do alot of fabrication, I am actually building some more swinging targets right now
 
Up until before Christmas I was an over the road trucker with ten years and a million+ miles of experience. Prior to that I worked fourteen years at ONG in OKC before going through a divorce and a desire for a new career as a trucker. Now, I'm a humble worker ant at a parts manufacturer running a couple of CNC mills (still learning) these past two months. Miss the open road at times but don't miss the idiot drivers or being away from home for weeks at a time.
 
I could tell you, but I'd have to kill you... <_<



Seriously, I am a Senior Case Manager for the Ok. Dept. of Corrections 14 yrs., a Reserve Deputy for Coal County S.O. 11 yrs. , and a Volunteer Firefighter for Enos/Cardinal Cove. Got lots of free time!
