Writing to think
I'm using this page to craft my voice and learn to articulate my thoughts better. The raw material: lessons from the job, my training and apprenticeship — and most importantly, what 30 years of living has taught me, what I would do differently, and the deep thoughts I keep coming back to.
Three threads
Looking Back
Lessons from 30 years. The flagship series. What life has taught me so far — the lessons I had to learn twice, the things I believed that I no longer believe, and what I'd tell my younger self if he'd actually listen. Honest, reflective, and written to start conversations.
First piece in the worksWork Lessons
What the job teaches. Short, practical pieces from the floor: how a clean close gets a crew out 20–30 minutes after locking the doors, what sortation pace teaches you about focus, and what training new hires teaches you about patience.
First piece in the worksTraining Log
Learning a trade. Notes from my IUPAT apprenticeship and ongoing training — new skills, beginner mistakes, and what the MC3 program and the GM Spring Hill job actually taught me. Written as I learn it.
