About Me

I am a business manager for a specialty chemical company. I have a home-based office, but travel over 50% of the time. My travel for work is mostly North America, with an occasional trip to our corporate headquarters in Genay France.

I have worked in the Paper Industry for over 30 years, since graduating from college with a B.S. In Paper Science, with minors in Chemistry and Math.

Hobbies

Stamp Collecting, stamp collecting, and stamp collecting.

My speciality in First Day Covers. In addition to collecting, I have produced a line of FDCs for over 25 years: CL Cachets. I have won numerous awards from the American First Day Cover Society for my single color printed cachets.

I also collect several topical areas. First is papermaking, which ties my professional life to my hobby. I also collect stamps with engraved maps, tomatoes, poinsettias, and stained glass windows.

I also enjoy going to first day ceremonies for new stamps when they are issued. I will travel anywhere to attend a ceremony. I have been to ceremonies in 48 states (missing Delaware and Wyoming) and two territories, Puerto Rico and Guam

Sports

I'm an avid Green Bay Packer fan I also enjoy fantasy football every year.

Always a Tiger (Detroit Tigers)

And I'm a Cleveland Cavalier fan (before LeNron James was ever on the team)

Travel

I also enjoy traveling. I've been to all 50 states and 6 of the 7 continents. I've also set foot in all four oceans.

For a previous job, I traveled internationally, making customer visits in 26 countries.

Comment: Thank you. Laval is part of greater Montreal.it is Quebec's 3rd largest, but will soon surpass Quebec City. About a 3 hour drive southwest from Quebec City. Make sure you go to old Quebec by the st. Lawrence river. Very beautiful this time of year.
