On my way to my first major stop on this trip when I pay a visit to David Van Wickler and his family.
Inasmuch as I found Little Falls to be a pretty quiet place on a Sunday night, it really showed me how picturesque it is when I rode out of town. Gorgeous views of the Mohawk River until we parted ways just outside of Sprakers, NY.
Rural Grove State Forest, Albany and Pittsfield were all stops made in New York State before drifting in to Massachusetts and heading to Sturbridge.
David Van Wickler and I go back to 2006 when he first joined Armstrong Fluid Technology as a Regional Sales Manager for the Northeast U.S. He remained with us just over 3 years before moving on.
During the course of that time, it became quickly obvious to everyone within Armstrong how much he understood the intricacies of our product offering. He became a go-to guy when you wanted insight regarding what the voice of the customer was really saying.
After arriving at David’s, I had the privilege of meeting his wife, Dawn and the rest of his family. It was easy to see why his family is the center of his life. He is definitely the center of theirs.
We will be heading out to Cape Cod and surrounding areas tomorrow for a 2-day ride before returning to Sturbridge.
