Head San Diego Conductor – CAST member since 1994
I was born and raised in our Nation's Capital. I left to join the Navy and wound up in Vietnam for two tours of duty 1966-67. Once out of the Navy, I went back to D.C., and then joined the Metropolitan Police Dept. as a patrol officer. Five years later, I packed up and headed West back to San Diego, where I was stationed in the Navy. A great variety of jobs followed, until I found my bliss as a Trolley Conductor and now Head Conductor at Old Town Trolley San Diego Tours.
CAST member since 2000
Hello! I'm a native San Diegan. I've recently completed my degree in music education, and I'm currently pursuing a teaching credential at SDSU. Last summer I studied at a world center in Bali. I enjoy all types of music, salsa dancing, model railroading and trout fishing in northern California. I'm looking forward to an enjoyable time at Old Town Trolley Tours.
A little bit about myself: I am a native Californian who was introduced to San Diego by my two High School oceanography teachers, and I have loved San Diego ever since. So much, that I went to UCSD and flew sailplanes along the cliffs of Torrey Pines, oh, and by the way, got a degree there, too. I am also an animal fanatic and grew up a horse-crazy kid. Fortunately, I had horse-crazy parents. Through an assortment of really magnificent creatures I have learned great patience. Right now, I have 2 dogs, 25 plus rabbits, fish, & birds. Careful, my rabbit population just went up! Speaking about population, San Diego sure has grown since I first came here, even with the growth, I still see wonderful bits & pieces of history- and these are what I like to share with visitors here in San Diego. Here's hoping I learn even more and can share this with thousands of visitors as an Old Town Trolley Conductor!
Hi there! Wow! It's such a great feeling to be part of the wonderful family here at Old Town Trolley Tours. My name is Bob. I grew up in a Navy family. I found a home on my seventh & final move here in San Diego. In 1985, I joined Invader Cruises as crew and by the summer of 1988, I was licensed Captain. In 1990 Hornblower Cruises purchased Invader Cruises, and I captained yachts for Hornblower for over 10 years. Now after a brief sprint with Catalina Classic Cruises, I have once again found a home here at HTA.
A California native born & raised in San Francisco, I grew up working in the family grocery business in a typical European, Greek/American atmosphere, broken dishes everywhere. I grew up next door to my grandparents, two sets of aunts & uncles, and three cousins, so I tend to be a little neurotic. I was told I'd fit right in here. I spent the last 18 years in Reno, Nevada working in sales and as a radio disc jockey. Now I'm back in California with my wife and two small basset hounds and glad to be here.
The youngest of five sons born and raised in Anaconda, Montana. Came to San Diego to attend boot camp for the U.S. Navy in Nov. 1972. Loved the weather and decided to make S.D. my home. Have one daughter who I raised myself. Have worked for over 30 years with abused children. Recently retired from the County of San Diego where I worked with Child Protective Services.
Originally from the quiet town of Las Vegas, I have real interest in History – I have a degree in History. I have worked in the hotel business and most recently, I have sold cars for Mazda and trained people/sales people on Mazda products. I have a 14-year-old son who lives for skateboarding – who has got me back into skateboarding after a "37 year break". I collect HO scale trains and trolleys (model trains).
Raised with 5 sisters and 2 brothers, Jim started work at age 7, building recreational ice rinks in Detroit. While playing high school varsity hockey, he won local and national writing awards. While graduating from the University of Michigan and beyond, he worked in the media – radio, T.V., and newspaper, including exclusive interviews with the U.S. Chief of Interpol, Gov. George Wallace, et al. Later he coasted into child development, teaching at pre-school facilities and kindergarten in San Diego. On Christmas day, 1985, the Trolley "smiled". He met Senorita Giselle on the San Diego Trolley and they've been married 18 years.
I was born and raised across the bay from San Diego in the beautiful village of Coronado, a true native! I've had the great opportunity to work for over 12 years on the PGA Tours and European PGA Tours as a Manufacturer's Representative, building clubs for the great players in the game. My love is travel and history, and I've been a guide, lecturer, and host for cruise lines, visiting over 260 cities in 40 countries. My favorite part of travel is learning and enjoying the culture and history of so many places. I also have the privilege of being a volunteer with the Coronado Visitor's Center, serving as a guide on the walking tours of the historical Hotel Del Coronado. I'm married to the best gal in the world and we enjoy gourmet cooking, wine tasting and our many beaches with our awesome dogs. Welcome aboard!
I have lived in many places including Boston, Syracuse, New Haven, Toronto, London, Clearwater, Long Beach, Venice, Pasadena, and Minneapolis/St. Paul. My misspent youth involved playing bass in rock and roll bands for about twenty years. Then I moved into the production side of music, touring as stage manager with The Monkees, Herman's Hermits, Bobby Sherman, and others. I also traveled extensively, setting up car show displays around the country and conducting training presentations of new vehicles for salespeople. I have at various times delivered blood, newspapers, and mail. All my life I've been driving and talking, so Old Town Trolley Conductor seems like the perfect job. I married late in life and my wonderful wife and I are grateful to have found our way to San Diego together.
I was born in L.A. and raised in North Hollywood, CA. I moved to San Diego in 1974. I worked as a meat cutter for 20 years and then I became a courier for the next 18 years. I have a wonderful wife of 38 years and I have a daughter and a son. I am a big sports fan and my wife and I love to travel. San Diego has so much to offer and that is why I became a Tour Conductor for the Old Town Trolley.
I am married to a nice lady named Robin who is a teacher. We have a two-year-old son named James. We like to hang out together at home or sometimes at the beach or in a park. I also have 5 step children from Mexico from a previous marriage. I like to visit them in Mexico when possible. I've been a professional driver off and on since 1989. Before that, I was a teacher. My main hobby is sports, especially surfing, baseball/softball, running/walking, and tennis.
Having been raised in this amazing place, I have an infinite passion for this city and the village of Coronado where I was born. I am one of the rare natives. I am excited to have the opportunity to tell both visitors and residents about our town, its history and activities. I have been involved with that very thing for some time having been a volunteer for the Coronado Visitor Center and a docent for the Hotel del Coronado for many years. Some of my other passions include playing golf and lawn bowling, snow skiing and playing with my wonderful little dog, Jersey-girl. I look forward to seeing you on my Old Town Trolley Tour.
As a Native San Diegan, I grew up here with great memories of close family life and great friendships! I'm married to my best friend, Kristine, and have two grown boys. We enjoy the beach, boating, golf, and dog park visits with our 3 "pups". For over 25 years I worked in radio and TV. Now I'm outside having fun in the sun with you!
