    Christy Spilotis Kuppler's Opinions

    I started driving professionally in 1979, driving a full size school bus. In those days, we did not need an air brake endorsement, and the license was called "bus 1". I have also driven handicapped and wheelchair, special needs, senior citizens, and was given two mayors awards/citations from two different mayors in Woodbridge Township, NJ.
    Years ago, I hosted a popular cable TV program, and won a Cable "Ace" award for breaking the record for the most viewers on a single show. I was a singer/songwriter, performer. You can see my old shows at www.christystv.com I have also driven step van...you know, like the ones that you see UPS drive. I became a T/T driver in 1996 when I became homeless due to an abusive marriege. I lived in the truck for about 9 months until I could get my life back in order.
    I have worn many hats, sort of a "Jill of all Trades", master of none! lol! I blazed a trail back in the mid-80's when I became a 'hard-hat', working on crews of men, doing everything from pipe fitting, welding, torching, carpentry, basically an assistant millwright.
    I had to work three times as hard to prove I was as good as the men, but I earned their respect.
    I have been to hell and back more times than I can count, and I got my 'handle' of Katwoman cause I keep landing on my feet. lol! It's getting a little harder to do anymore, this kittiy is getting a little tired of the curve balls.
