I never expected to end up in a city love this. From the outside perspective, it seemed love an “old person” town, however I guess most of Florida feels that was periodically, but when I first moved down here I was actually on my way to Miami, & then through to Key West. My job was to just show up down there & find some kind of HVAC job to tide me over while I got my songs work started… I have no dreams of being rich or famous, however I thought if I could play songs in a bar on the beach then life would be pretty good. My van broke down just outside of Tampa Bay, so I was forced to stay here for a few weeks to get some currency together… That was eleven years ago, & I still live in Tampa Bay. The heavy metal songs scene is alive & thriving in Tampa, much to my surprise, then another surprise was how much I love professional hockey, something I had never cared about before I discovered the Tampa Bay Lightning. There is a lot to do in Tampa, however what actually keeps me here is the high demand for skilled HVAC professionals. As an HVAC tech I make twice as much currency in Tampa Bay as did at my last job, however something that makes me laugh is the thought of retirement; Because so various people transport to Tampa Bay to retire, where does a local HVAC tech go when he retires? Am I supposed to transport back up north?
