My name is Kevin Nichols, an English man living in <a href=\"http:\/\/maps.google.com.au\/maps?q=Grubbenvorst&amp;oe=utf-8&amp;rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&amp;client=firefox-a&amp;um=1&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;hq=&amp;hnear=Grubbenvorst,+The+Netherlands&amp;gl=au&amp;ei=P7uITN3GDYygvgPLkdykBQ&amp;sa=X&amp;oi=geocode_result&amp;ct=title&amp;resnum=1&amp;ved=0CBwQ8gEwAA\">Grubbenvorst<\/a>, a small Dutch village on the border to Germany. I am 35 years young, married to my teenager love Nicole and nuts about my boy Samuel.<\/p>\n<p>I joined Shapeways in June 2010 and have quickly been infected by the unique spirit that thrives in our community and also in our office. From my first interview it was clear that Shapeways was the place to be. I have over 13 years customer service experience for several international companies. Having lived and worked in the Germany, England and now in the Netherlands. With experience in the metal, construction, finance, supply chain, security\/safety products and paper industries I can confidently say&hellip;.<\/p>\n<p>&hellip;&hellip; I have never seen anything like this, never been so inspired by what our customers and I do every day.<\/p>\n<p>When I&rsquo;m not thinking about Shapeways I spend most of my free time with my family getting out visiting friends and family. Apart from my Shapeways infection I was infected by Rock &amp; Metal and the age of 12. Luckily I have not found a cure and am blessed to keep on Rockin&rsquo;!!! <\/p>\n<p>But that&rsquo;s another story.
