About Me

I'm a retired Information Technology System Engineer who specialized in messaging (e-mail); a webmaster, railfan, and aspiring amateur musician.

Unlike most railfans trains don't rule my life, they're just one of my many interests. Married in 2002, with a daughter. I have been interested in railroads since my youth.

Age: old enough to remember when red states meant Russia and China. And when BLM meant the Bureau of Land Management people. I'm a child of the 1950's but nothing like the stereotypical Boomer nor a Hippie.
