Robert "Ace" Balsiger

As a semi-retired senior, and US Air Force veteran, I discovered eBay a few years ago and have had a great and productive time while meeting many wonderful people.

In the early 80's I owned a company, Lifestyle Manufacturing, Inc. We manufactured a number of formed plastic products, but our primary product was our patented solar panels. I was passionate about solar energy and our environment... and still am.

A few years ago, I read an article about recycling. It talked about how discarded cell phones and ink cartridges were contaminating our land fills. It also talked about how recycling conserves our natural resources.

After reading the article, I was hooked. I established AMS Fundraising as a division of Advantage Marketing Services, to promote recycling. It pleases me to know that we are helping to preserve our natural resources and protect our environment, while we provide much needed financial support to numerous schools, churches and other non-profit organizations.
