Gary Victor

contract negotiator/buyer ; environmental & sustainability educator

I have been working in the Department of Defense field for almost 25 years as a buyer and contract negotiator. In this career, I have learned many new skills, and have met some wonderful people during this time. However, I have begun to re-evaluate, and have wrestled whether I am truly realizing my life’s work and mission. I have discovered that life’s work should be fun, and should teem with effervescence and vitality. I do not want a career built on just getting by, and counting the days to the next paycheck and retirement.

; Alternate Horticulture and computers

I have been working in a technical writer drafting capability withing the engineering department for a large defense organization. When the Irac War began I was so disgusted with the logic that took us there I could not remain working in the defense field. Even though I should have stayed for the money because of course that is the one industry that is doing well during war time. I chose instead to move to a small town and become involved in working for the Public Services Department and working to move this municipality into a sustainable future.
