I have been in the Advertising Specialty business for over 12 years. I came from a Graphic Design background but transitioned over to sales of promo as a nice change. I have lived in the Illinois suburbs most of my life, but spent four years living at a ski resort in Colorado. I am married with 3 of my own children and 2 step-children. They are all about on their own now, so empty-nest lifestyle coming soon!
