What would you love to build out of FrogBoxES? What do I like to build???? The only thing I have is stacks and stacks of dirty bins, that later turn into stacks and stacks of clean bins.

When did you start to hate cardboard? Many, many years ago! I spent about 20 years before this working in Logistics and Inventory Control. The amount of cardboard that is use and wasted in shipping product is amazing!

What’s the craziest use of a FrogBox you’ve seen? The craziest story I have heard was from a Customer. His mover complained that the side of the bin dug into his back! Of course I raised an eyebrow to that. He explained to me that the mover would stack 4 FrogBox on top of each other, reach behind his back and lift and carry all four from the house to the moving truck and vice versa at the other end. He explained after that he was a giant of a man!

How did you first hear about FrogBox? Why did you choose to partner with FrogBox? Last year at this very time I was on my second contract supporting the Canadian Military in Afghanistan as a civilian contractor. I knew I was not going to sign on for a third contract and had to start looking for work back home. When I came home on my Holidays in December a friend of mine set me up with a local Ottawa business owner. We hand a nice long chat and everything was very pleasant when I left the interview. It was shortly after I returned to base when I heard back from them saying, sorry but the timing is not right for this job…..but we may have another opportunity with something else if you are interested. Well FrogBox turned out to be that opportunity.

What are your goals for your region? To make any move as stress free any easy as possible!

Do you have any message to the people of your area? A very smart lady told me this so I have to give credit to Lauren for this. ” Friends don’t let friends use cardboard boxes!” It makes me laugh every time.
