MEMBER PROFILE
Bruce
Cantwell, On Location, VP, Sales
1. Brief bio
In 1983, while
visiting a friend in Atlanta , I was introduced
to one James Wurm of I&D fame. He hired me on the spot and
I have never looked back. I enjoy not only the people I
deal with (clients, co-workers, etc), but I love the travel.
Chicago , San Fran,
New
Orleans , Orlando , etc, just never
get old!
2.
If I had my way I would only do trade
shows ……
in
New
York ,
the greatest city in the world. I look forward to running
up the turnpike to work in NY. I have more time on a show
floor at the Javits than any other building and it’s home
to some of my closest friends. While it has it’s
challenges, it’s my favorite.
3. When I
want to spoil myself on the road I....
I
love to explore the city and go on walking tours. I try
to walk an hour or so in the morning and see the sites.
It’s a beautiful time to see the strip in
Las
Vegas ,
ask John Merritt! I also enjoy local sporting events of
all kinds.
4.
I absolutely won't leave home without
....
my credit cards. I used to worry about forgetting
something, but now, if I forgot it, I buy it. Takes all
the stress off!
5.
When I'm not working you'll find me
....
Golfing or fishing with my best bud, James Murphy of
Renaissance Renown!. I enjoy riding my Fatboy when I have
the time.
6. If I were
the trade show czar I
….
wouldn’t change a
thing. Having this much fun at work should be
illegal!!
