Biography
Railways are a lifelong passion of mine. What began as a hobby has ultimately become an academic pursuit. Before beginning my doctoral work, I spent several years working in the model train industry. My interest in railways has also led me to publish four books on railways in Ontario and my railway photography has appeared in multiple publications around the world.
