He has been at Network Rail for 25 years, and said he had combined his work to keep people safe with charity work – by trying to promote a better way of life, encouraging other people to give back.
“Once we start to use the good qualities within us, we start to value ourselves more,” he said.
“I want to try and inspire children to see themselves as complete, full of energy, and able to achieve anything… being able to achieve that is super important, whether on the railway or anywhere else.
“I do motivation type stuff as well, it’s really rewarding because you’re working with young people, mainly primary schools, but I do see people all the way up to university, children with special educational needs.”
He said he recognised that lots of kids got bored and caused mischief, and wants to inspire them to do more.
“There’s nothing more valuable than human life, we cannot replace that.”
“We are the most precious thing we will ever own.”
