I want to Be…
January 21, 2007
I’ve been reading his monthly column in Trains Magazine since the summer of 1995 - almost twelve years now. I’ve even responded to a column and had it printed in the Railway Post Office (the Letters to the Editor) section.
If you click the link above, you’ll end up on a biography created for a speaking engagement at the World Air Transport Summit. Unfortunately, it’s about the only biography I could find online.
You may ask, why do I want to be Don Phillips? Because he investigates and writes about nearly every form of transportation available, and he has traveled across the world to do this reporting.
If there’s one thing that I’m always interested in, it’s transportation. I’ve subscribed to Flying, Trains, Car & Driver, Roads & Bridges, Lakeland Boater, and more. Anything and everything transportation, I love it. Further, I’m all for any type of travel… so, combine the two, transport and travel, and I am fulfilled.
Could I spend my life reading and writing? I’m sure. Would it be smart… maybe, maybe not. Who knows how financially responsible it would be, but it’s a thought.
Maybe, in a few years, after I’m published in Civil Engineering (the magazine of ASCE) or the APWA Reporter, I can make the transition to a career in transportation writing.
I wouldn’t mind writing a book some day either… who knows. Life has so many possibilities.
