    My name comes from our hunting camp. I keep the name to honor my dad who passed away about 14 years ago. My dad started the camp with some buddies in the early 60's and we kept the name when he bought his own property in 1972. You can see my dad on the front porch on my flickr page.

    I think that makes it older than The Dukes of Hazard.

    I work for UPS and make syrup on the side. Have over 3o years with UPS. Hope to jump out in 3 years and play more with maple. Taking the month of March off this year because I'm getting too old to work 50 hours a week and make syrup at night.

    I have a name that has "stuck" with me since I was a kid. I never liked it as a kid but it just seems to fit with maple syrup. My name's Nicholas, Nick for short and Stickey Nickey is what they called me. When I asked my dad to help me start building maple equipment he laughed out loud and said "Stickey Nickey's maple syrup, I like it."
