I grew up in Wadsworth, Ohio and attended the University of Cincinnati. I moved to Chicago after graduating and have lived in the Chicagoland area ever since. I have been working in the store fixture display industry for 20+ years and opened my Etsy shop in 2020. FCSportsMarketing was started with what is still the shop's best seller -- a hockey puck display that I designed to hold my son's autographed Chicago Blackhawks pucks.
