I started in the Mid 80's at the Fort Madison Penitentiary as summer help and eventually was asked to join the workforce full-time, where I worked for 5 year's before I left in the private sector working with juveniles for the next 3 years.

Once I completed my apprenticeship, I was asked to enter the First Line Supervisors Training offered through BNSF. After completeing the training I became a reilef foreman delegating work assignments to 80 to 100 skilled trades personnel..
