Anthony's Story

Life Hi, In the fall after High school I left the area and went to Confederation College in Thunder Bay for 2 years to take Law and Security Admin (I wanted to be a policeman), after graduation I moved back to London for 2 years and worked a couple of different jobs (security guard, cook) while applying for police jobs. I was unsuccessful in getting a police job so I decided to change directions. I returned to Thunder Bay to attend Lakehead University and to get married to Anna (we met in college). I graduated in 1996 with a B.A. B.Ed. and in the September of that year we had our third child. To help pay for school during my fourth year I started work at Bombardier Transportation (building GO trains and Toronto subway cars) working on the afternoon shift and going to school during the day. As it turns out this was not a good year to graduate from teacher's college, this was the year of the province wide teacher lay off, and we were all told that there would be no jobs full time jobs for a year or two, part time supply was available a couple of times a week, but, you recall those 3 children I have, part time was not really an option. I decided to stay working at Bombardier in Thunder Bay until things turned aro...Expand for more
und, and for a time tutored kids after school. As it turned out I did very well Bombardier, progressing in management, through various jobs in production, materials, and quality. For a couple of years I travelled throughout North America as a Field Quality Tech, landing in all the major cities to work on the rail cars we sold. When the teaching jobs all became available, I had a lot of time invested where I was and decided to stay in the rail business. In 2004 the company had a huge dip in share prices and started closing plants and laying off people. I was laid off in April 2004. We decided to move from Thunder Bay to Southern Ontario again to tap into the larger job market. I worked for a short time at a GM automotive sub supplier, then got a job at Electro-motive in London. I am back building trains again. We currently live in Tillsonburg, have an enourmously annoying dog (it's a beagle, the kids love him, but he prefers destruction over anything else), commute to work, and try to get by. As far as hobbies go, I jog, still practice martial arts when I have time, and I write short stories and poetry. (I actually had a book of poetry published in '97, as well as appearing in several artsy fartsy magazines)
