Teacher expertise and credentials
As a veteran train conductor with 12 years working for the Union Pacific Railroad, I have witnessed the workings of magnificent trains up close. My time on the tracks allowed me to gain knowledge and work on the thrill of the railway. I have a BS in Anthropology and my skills have helped me to dive deep into the world of trains and their impact on society throughout history. My passion for history has taken me around the globe exploring fascinating history of trains and railways in other cultures and museums, immersing myself in train history that spans centuries.
