Meet Our Cast

General Manager

Tim has worked for Old Town Trolley Tours (OTT) since 2013. He joined the cast then as a Ghost Actor/MOD. He fell in love with the character he developed within that role; that love quickly grew to the Boston operation as he moved into several different roles over the following years, ‘and the rest is history.’ Tim is ecstatic to be in his current role of always being “on stage” and is excited to help Boston operate at its fullest potential of being Boston’s ‘Storyteller.’ Tim lives in Arlington, MA with his wife and loves to spend time with her hiking in Vermont or walking the beaches of Maine.

When “Agnes” turned 30 in 1898, she knew the only way she could attain a marriage proposal was with academic achievements. Though her intelligence was lacking, she made up for it with bludgeoned professors and plagiarized papers. And it worked! A little too well… Now in death, Agnes is cursed to work in the least prestigious industry possible…ghost tourism. But hey, at least she is doing what she was so good at in life – taking other people’s stories and presenting them as her own!

Administrative Assistant

Alanna grew up in Lawrence, MA, and joined OTT as an administrative assistant in 2024. Alanna’s husband JD has driven for OTT since 2011, so she joined to see what all the fuss was about! Alanna is a dilettante in the silly arts: paint-by-numbers, standup comedy, and software development.

Ghosts & Gravestones Gravedigger

“Arthur Preston” was the dashing ringmaster of a stupendous traveling circus. But his career came to an untimely end when the cast of the Freak Show—performers who he’d personally mutilated and disfigured—broke free from their cages and took their revenge. Step right up, and maybe he will let you join the show.

When Aspen is not haunting the streets of Boston (or the local Taco Bell), you can find her occasionally hosting a karaoke night, attending a drag brunch, or as a practicing LMT. “Today I define success by the fluidity with which I transcend emotional land mines and choose joy and gratitude instead.” – RuPaul

Ghosts & Gravestones Gravedigger

“Doctor Atticus Nobody” was a prodigiously renowned physician and alchemical scholar, who became infamous for his morally dubious research. His quest for immortality ended with tragic results, trapping him in a flawed immortal body plagued by hellish visions upon each consecutive demise.

Ghosts & Gravestones Gravedigger

“Dottie Mayhem” (1800-1826) was a cautionary tale for giving people in high offices the benefit of the doubt. She was very unlike a beach ball, in that when you push a beach ball out a window, it will just bounce, instead of die. Also, very unlike a beach ball, she returned from the grave a murderous revenant with a penchant for all things eerie, unsettling, and absurd.

Being a graveyard-bound pirate wasn’t what I had in mind when I was in school for graphic design and marketing, and while working as a waitress in Hampton, NH. I love learning.

Stephen most likes the diversity of guests who visit the city from across the country and from every nation around the world. When people ask him what he does for a living, he jokingly replies, “I get to tell people where to go and what to do, which pretty much sums up this role, which I enjoy very much.”

HR Manager

I was born and brought-up in Boston. Some of my best childhood memories were in the North End, visiting family, enjoying gravy on our macaroni on Sundays, getting a single purple balloon at the weekly Summer Feasts, and eating entirely too much of the original East Coast favorite, Ritchie’s Slush.

I have worked in several industries over my 30 or so years of experience. Corporate America was no longer challenging (or fun) for me. In researching other job opportunities, I came across the HR Manager position ad for Old Town Trolley Tours of Boston. After reading all the wonderful write-ups and bios, I knew it would be a positive change if I was able to work here. I applied for the position, and the rest is history!
