From the first time I came to Savannah as a 13 year old New Jersey native with my parents, I’ve been intrigued with the city.  I moved here in 1991, working as a sportswriter for the Carolina Morning News/ Savannah Morning News.  I met my wife, Fran, and our son Paul was born in 1997.

We moved to Colorado, where I worked as a newspaper editor.  After five years, the lure of Savannah – the people and the beach- proved too great.

I’ve changed careers, anxious to show people why Savannah is one of the most beautiful cities in the world, and home to this carpet-bagging Yankee.

After 28 years as a creative in advertising, a recession, and the cold winters in the Northeast, I set my sights on South Florida…sunshine, warmth, the palm trees, white sand, and the blue of the Atlantic Ocean.

Twelve years later, Florida’s growth and the hurricanes of 2004, pushed my adventure in life to throw the dart further north, Savannah, Charleston and South Carolina.  Three rounds on the Old Town Trolley Tours, ghosts included, sold me on Savannah.

Hi, my name is Irenette, but my friends call me Nette.  I have lived in Savannah all of my life, but I was never so knowledgeable about the town until I came to work for Old Town Trolley.

I have one teenage son who keeps me busy.  Before coming to Old Town Trolley I held such positions as a head teller at a bank, a sales rep, a customer service rep, and a school bus driver.  Now I am a conductor.  I was never much of a talker, but I guess now I get to talk all day.

Hi, my name is Carol. I was born in Lima, Ohio. I have lived in Savannah for many years. I raised my son Bruce and my daughter Sissy in Savannah. They have blessed me with four beautiful grandchildren. I have been a conductor for three years and I love it!

Everyone has been so pleasant and fun to work with. I can truly say this is the best job I have ever had. Thanks Old Town Trolley—you are the best!

Hello!  My name is Jacqueline, but because of my love for jellybeans, I prefer the nickname, “Bean”.  I was born and raised twenty something years ago, so I am a native of Savannah.  I love the city of Savannah.

I hope you have enjoyed your tour with us!  Come back and see us ya hear!

I was born in Spartanburg, SC in 1951.  I am the eldest of 3 children.  My primary education was at St. Joseph Catholic School in Columbia, SC.  While I was in high school, my parents moved to Macon, GA, so I finished high school there.  I then furthered my studies and spent 2 years at Macon Junior College.

A slow economy and the privilege of youth allowed me the opportunity to relocate to Ft. Lauderdale, FL.  It was there that I met my first wife and started a career in sales—first with a potato chip route and then selling cars.  I have a daughter named Sarah, who is now attending Broward Community College in Ft. Lauderdale.

Because of family, I returned to GA and settled in Savannah.  I continued in Auto Sales for a while, but then moved into the antique business.

I’ve been with Old Town Trolley now for 11 years, and have really seen it all!  I’ve enjoyed being a Conductor, Safety Officer, and Training Officer for the best tour company in Savannah!

Hi, my name is Cindy.  I am a real Georgia Peach!  I was born here and spent most of my life in Savannah, GA.  I recently moved back and love every minute of it!

Thank you for coming to my hometown.  I think you will find it as beautiful as I do!

Ya’ll come back now, ya hear?!

Greetings!  My name is William “Will”, and I’m proud to be a Conductor for Old Town Trolley.  I was born and raised in Kansas, but always had a desire to move closer to the ocean. Having received a BA degree in Philosophy and a Masters degree in Theology I enjoyed working in a variety of different positions including administration, teaching, and pastoral work. After 25 years, I decided it was time for a change and decided to move south near the ocean. Upon my arrival in Savannah in 2004 I immediately fell in love with it: the Jewel of the Low Country, an old colonial city bursting with charm was too much for this Kansan to resist!

In a strange but exciting way I’m still sharing my passion for history, not from a desk or a podium… but as a tour guide for Historic Tours of America….  WELCOME ABOARD!

Hello, my name is Brian, aka “Mojo”. I am a West Central Georgia native. I moved to Savannah in the summer of 2006, and I love every minute of it. I grew up amongst pecan and peach orchards. My favorite place to eat peaches was the “Peachoseum”, called “Dickies on the Hilltop”. My aunt and uncle are peach connoisseurs; growing up we would have our family reunions there on the orchards.

I majored in Criminal Justice and moved to Savannah with hopes of obtaining a job in that field, but I found myself in the hospitality industry, and really enjoy it!

Hope you enjoy your stay!
