I've given you stories about "Uncle Bill" aka my grandfather, so let me tell you a little about me. I grew up in a small town in California. My parents and I did most of our traveling to Old Whethersfield, CT to visit "Uncle Bill" and family. There we would go to Capecod, MA for a week making 6' tall sandcastles and go body surfing. My cousins and I were like fish. I came from a very artistic family. Many painters and inventors of all kinds. Imagination was a must. I wouldn't trade my childhood for the world. I feel really lucky for that. I'm happy to be working in the family business now and look forward to wherever that will bring me to!
