Meet Thomas Pacheco, the Bronx"s very own monorail maestro and wildlife whisperer extraordinaire at the Wildlife Conservation Society. With a career spanning over 14 years, Thomas has perfected the art of troubleshooting both electrical and mechanical problems on monorails, making him an indispensable part of the team that keeps nature’s rollercoaster running smoothly. If there were an Olympic event for monorail mechanics, he"d undoubtedly take home gold—followed by a thoroughly deserved standing ovation from both animals and humans alike.

Before he became the go-to guy for all things monorail, Thomas flexed his technical muscles as a Line Technician where he inspected high-voltage substations and maintained outdoor lighting systems with finesse. His journey began at Bombardier Transportation, laying down the foundations of his electrifying expertise. A proud holder of an Electrical Certificate from T.S.I., Thomas is not just about wires and circuits; he’s also deeply passionate about conservation, ensuring that every ride through nature is safe and serene.

When he"s not keeping monorails in tip-top shape or saving wildlife one bolt at a time, you might find him sharing his wisdom with aspiring mechanics or indulging in some well-deserved downtime exploring New York City—probably while dreaming up new ways to innovate transportation in harmony with nature. In short, if you"re ever riding a monorail through a wildlife sanctuary in New York City, thank your lucky stars for Thomas Pacheco—the unsung hero behind the scenes!
