How I Got Involved in Letterpress Printing: It started with a bookbinding course I took about ten years ago -- tired of making blank books and looked for ways to add content.
I purchased a Craftsmen press and then took a weekend course with Bonnie Thompson Norman in Seattle. In 2000, I followed up
with an intensive workshop with the Elsteds at Barbarian Press. Purchased my Vandercook from Don and Craig Black

Work History & Education: Technical (stock market) analyst at several brokerage firms in Montreal. Later returned to university in Montreal and Beijing pursuing
