Your dream job...

Planes, trains and automobiles.

When I was a kid, anything that you could operate fascinated me. I dreamed of having a license to operate cars, motorcycles, boats, planes, trains, well, you get the picture. I was fascinated with the moon landings and toyed with the idea of becoming an astronaut. Now, at 51 years of age I have been at the controls of almost everything with the exception of spacecraft. I actually sat at the throttle of a freight train a few months back, moving 10,000 feet of freight westward at 45 mph. What an awesome experience.

As it turned out, I was good with electronics. My dad owned a TV repair shop and I helped out from age 12 onwards. Worked in the radio broadcast industry, then 2 way radio communications for 20 years and followed that up with a career in railroad signals. Currently a signal supervisor.
