| On the personal side, I work for a company in Elgin, Illinois that produces veterinary drugs. I was hired as production manager, and I am in charge of all manufacturing and filling operations. I have been in the pharmaceutical industry for over 23 years. When I am not working on my HRC pin collection, I also enjoy golf, bowling, basketball, tennis, scale modeling, and music. I have coached boys' basketball, and I also umpire women's fast pitch softball in the summer. My wife, Kyla, and I celebrated our 20th anniversary in October, 2001. She has been very supportive of my "hobby", but always keeps me in check on my pin spending! We have a son, Christoffer, who will be a junior in college this coming fall. He also enjoys music very much. He plays lead guitar, and currently owns 9 guitars in his collection. He and three other friends have formed a band, and they have just finished work in the studio cutting their second demo disk. They are looking to release an EP before the end of this year, and have now started to play gigs in the local club circuit. Thanks for visiting my website. Drop me a line to say hello, trade pins, and to let me know what you think of my page. Tom Jacobsen |
