Hello Again to my fellow Club Members,

I have had numerous requests to post my resume on the boards to show that I am qualified to hold a leadership position for our Club. I have been collecting Casino Memorabilia for over 60 years in some form or another. I have always been fascinated with the hobby which also includes Coins , Silver Strikes and Paper Currency.

In my personal life, I have had extensive business dealings owning 9 different businesses in the food industry as well as the service industry. All my business ventures successfully allowed me to retire 25 years ago. My business experience gives me an insight into administering the necessary duties and obligations of our Club. I ask for your vote to let me continue to help make our club even better.
