Bob Collins

As Winston Churchill said, “Never give up on something that you can’t go a day without thinking about.” This belief has led Bob to put his hand to more than a couple of careers in his life, including teaching Middle School Social Studies for the past fourteen years. It also led to a career in youth ministry where he was able to travel around the world with High School youth doing service missions. His experience as a train conductor helped develop a love for railroads, something that is featured in this work. Over the years Bob has earned advanced degrees in Religion and education. But his most important role in life is being a dad. His son's kind heart comes out in Sam's character. Bob has been married to his childhood sweetheart for the past 19 years, and he is eternally grateful for all of her love and support.
