Lol. You guys are too funny. For those who don't know, heres a brief story on how I got where I am today......
In April of 2005, I had to do a community service project for school, and decided what better place than the WW&F, which my family and I had ridden at least 4 times prior. So in doing so I met Dana, James, Jason, Zack, Dwight, and many others. Of course we already knew Fred from past visits as he was our conductor or brakeman many times. After a long 10 hour day of track work, we continued to come back every few weeks through out the years.
After High School in 2008, I took another step towards my dream and got a job at Conway Scenic with the help of experience I already had from the WW&F, only to find out later that the OM and our current CMO knew each other was a big help I am sure. I did track work, conductor, fireman and engineer up there until the fall of 2012. During the summer my path would soon take one more serious leap towards my career of choice.
By September 2012, after passing pre hire tesring, I began my career with Pan Am. Leaving many friemds behind was hard, but this was what I wanted to do. Starting off as a conductor trainee, then moving up to brakeman and conductor. Seeing many neat places and learning a lot of new stuff. In 2014, I was then promoted to Engineer, and after completing the required tests, have now traversed about 80% of the system.
All of this was done with the help of the guys at the museum, and Conway Scenic. I am still very much a part of the museum, as time and work permits, and none the less have not forgotten where my story began.
