January 2008

I saw my first Bossons head when I was in my twenties in some of the drug stores in my home town of Aurora, Illinois.  I thought they were neat looking and so realistic.  I didn’t buy any at the time.  I was browsing in Ebay one day in 2002 and came across some Bossons heads.  They sparked my interest again so I placed a bid on a couple of heads and I won.  The rest is history, I was smitten.  I have almost all of the heads except the extremely rare pieces like Kruger, Bengali, Rosa, etc.  Recently, I started collecting Ivorex and have about  175 pieces.

My wife, Kathy, and I are both members of IBCS.  We feel like members of a large family.  The people are so friendly and helpful.  We look forward to each gathering whether an international or a Florida meeting.

In addition to collecting Bossons, I am a member of the Apopka Civilian Police Alumni Association and American Orchid Society.  I am the Webmaster for the Central Florida Orchid Society.  I’m also one of the society Photographers.  I also collect Legend heads and Millcreek animal sculptures.

Kathy and I have two sons, Mike, a Software Engineering Manager for Harris Corporation in Melbourne, Florida and Steven, a Policeman in Apopka, Florida.  We have three beautiful granddaughters, Julia, Sarah, and Annabelle.  We are blessed!
