I like to spend time hunting or fishing as much as I can, being outdoors no matter what the weather may be like , Spending time with grandkids and working about , flipped many a house, but I think I’m done with that. Made many friends in this industry over 40+ years within Bobst and even with customers. Many of us have like interest and hobbies you bond over. Free time is hard to find , Lots to do with Bobst and quite busy, Weekends I tend to disappear during hunting season, I’ve been known to take a few calls from the tree stand and working within many different times zones keeps you busy.
