Joe Monk has led an interesting life. Received a bachelor of science from San Diego State University in geology. Spent 3 years digging up dinosaur bones through a grant from the Peabody museum of Yale University. Worked for years as a geologist on geothermal drilling rigs for Baker Hughes International. He was a maintenance supervisor at a three-star resort in Washington state. After that he was a computer part broker for Hewlett-Packard. Now he’s just the guy that sits on the porch with a shotgun and his Rottweiler and tells everybody to get the hell off of his lawn.
