A Few Interesting Things About Me:
I did sales for 14 years and had never thought about the railroad. Now that I had this job fall into my lap I love it. Not a lot of people love their job but I do. I have wanted to write a book for a long time. I almost completed a book years ago but didn't back it up and lost it when my computer fried. Something else interesting about me. about four years ago (through diet and exercise) I lost over a hundred pounds and have kept it off. I still need to lose some more and I am working on it. Well that is about it for now.
