You’re writing your autobiography. What’s your opening sentence?
I’ve lived a strange and at times awkward existence, more downs than ups but finally I think I’ve at last achieved comfort, not success.

Do you enjoy your job?
I’ve been in my current role for the last 12 years, it’s the longest I’ve been in a position throughout my so far 42 year working life. Management pretty much leave me alone however the job does have some pretty horrific outcomes both personally and privately. No one told me that in my 12 years I’d experience 17 horrific seriously disrupted fatalities, or that I’d be regularly abused verbally and sometimes physically. Despite all that I love my job, I work on the Railway trying to keep people off the tracks and trains on them. It’s a shame that the railway seems to be the first place to go to in times of desperation and loneliness. I’m trying to help this not become the norm. But I also need that help, I’m currently undergoing treatment for PTSD so it has affected me personally. But I still love my job. Here’s a question for you, how the heck am I still able to enjoy this job when there is so much heart ache around it?
Sometimes, someone just has to step up to the plate, maybe this is my calling. Who knows?
If you could permanently ban a word from general usage, which one would it be? Why?
The word Impossible.
Though we all use it on a regular basis, is anything really impossible? If we just look at things in a different way and from a different point of view you can see that absolutely everything is the polar opposite…..it is possible.
Who are your favorite people to be around?
Family really. Really drilled down to the basics probably just my wife and my dog. I’m not much of a social animal but I do enjoy the family company. And the dog is just an absolute gem of a lad. Oh the wife, she is a wonderful human too ❤️😂
