Personal page of Yves Marchand

I live in Trois-Rivieres, Quebec, in the Cap-de-la-Madeleine sector with my wife Lyne and my son Olivier.

I am graduate from agro-alimentary Institute of technology of St-Hyacinthe and I exploited a dairy farm until 1996. In 1993, I received a bronze medal of the National order of agricultural merit. I am now a technician of data capture for dairy control ( P.A.T.L.Q. ).

In the same time I worked on the farm, I had developed some agricultural software. The experience gained in this field led me to make software testage for my current employer, in addition to my regular work.

I am interested in astronomy , the genealogy and data processing. I am member of the Club of Jupiter astronomy , of the Regrouping of the descendants of Jacques LeMarchant and Francoise Capel , Mensa Quebec and the Order of the professional technologists of Quebec.

I also like to do odd jobs and make renovations. In my former house, I had renovated an office, a washroom with a wall of glass blocks, two bedrooms and an exterior patio. In my new house, I completely renovated the bathroom and I built an astronomical observatory.
