Available to hire
I am a dedicated railway professional with over 40 years of experience at C.P. Rail (now CPKC), specializing in train operations and safety. I have honed my skills in various operational roles while remaining committed to efficiency and safety. My extensive experience also includes instructing others and engaging with teams to ensure smooth operations.
Since retiring, I have leveraged my public speaking experience into the beginning of a voiceover freelance career. I have worked with several AI training companies as a voice actor assisting in the development of AI abilities and am looking for more varied opportunities.
