“My happiest childhood moments were spent hanging out with my grandfather. A bus driver in Rhode Island, Papa would let me sit on his bus and I’d watch him work. On the weekends, he’d take me to the train station, and sit on the platform with me watching the Amtrak trains board and depart. I still feel that wonder in my work. There’s always a part of me that feels like that little kid on the platform with his grandfather.”
