Writing an article recently about Macomb County lawyer Lou Zaidan also working as a farmer reminded me that  lawyer Dominic Greco moonlights as a card dealer at Motor City Casino in Detroit.

“I do it for the extra income and the benefits,” said Greco, who is in private practice in Clinton Township.

Greco said he deals blackjack and runs craps and roullette tables, and has worked in the gaming industry for 18 years. He said he works full time, the midnight shift weekends and Mondays. The Monday shift can make that day long sometimes, he said, but he manages it.

The common skill of the two professions is communication, he said.

“You gotta be a people person,” he said. “You have to be able to communicate. You have to know when to talk and when to be quiet.”

Learning about Zaidan and Greco made me think that maybe there’s other lawyers out there with interesting side-jobs or intensive hobbies. Let me know. Leave a comment here, email me at Jamie.cook@macombdaily.com, or call me at (586) 783-0314.
